The TalkShow stages a discussion about an encounter between two artists at the end of a perilous interdisciplinary co-residency exercise. This encounter is not a story of pebble halves that fit together perfectly, but rather a game of ricochets on the surface of the abyss that separates the two artistic worlds. On the last day, the public arrives, like a paving stone in the pond or a family of swimming ducks, to bring its expertise, its questions, its imagination.
The public and the artists are invited to a performative discussion where points of view are shifted and roles are reversed. An exercise of imagination to speak not to the other but from his part. The only rule of this debate that has become a performance: all the places are reversed! A role-playing game catapulted into a board around the two projects.
It is the conclusion of the co-residency: a co-working of two or more artists working on their individual projects at the same time in the studio. This formula allows the choreographer to observe how the atmosphere, the objects, the universe of his or her project influences the other project and vice versa, without trying to combine and with no obligation of result. The co-residency is also interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary, allowing the choreographers to discover the methods and function of artists from other disciplines such as the plastic, visual, textile, literary, industrial arts, etc.
Diego Echegoyen’s project is a sound performance which, as a sort of choreographed citytour with audience participation, explores different aspects of the relationship between the city and its citizens. The artistic research of Maïte Álvarez, a choreographer and visual artist, combines voices and texts that become a dance, and composed interior and exterior sound landscapes.
The two artists merge their languages to question the space and offer our imagination relationships that have become a « living performance ».
At the end of this week of voluntary artistic contamination, the two artists invite the public to enter their space of cohabitation for an open conversation around a frisky buffet!
