A human being enters the stage and disappears several times. He falls in various ways, gets up, sings the indecipherable, walks down a corridor, opens the last door, to fall back on himself. In this play we witness several endings and beginnings at the same time. Some people are sitting in the audience and hear a voice while watching the execution.
Pieces is a multidisciplinary work that focuses on the various infinites present in the part, a performance composed of several choreographic compositions, inquires about the poetic potential which exists in the brief description of a work or in its evocation.
Inspired by the short film and cinema masterpiece “The Perfect Human” (1967) by Jørgen Leth, based on the legacy of Bas Jan Ader’s falls, from an original script composed of concrete movements and instructions, read and performed live.
