Ajustements(s)


Live electronics and dance - 2019


This performance explores the possibilities of communication between two languages: movement and sound. Starting from the psychoacoustic phenomenon of beating, both performers initiate an intimate dialogue in a formalist and minimalist structure, attempting to understand each other, to join, to adjust. Juliette’s curvature is accentuated, the beat is still audible. The body twists slowly while a descending melodic profile is heard in a slow panning from left to right. Silence. Balance. Tension. Breaking point. The sound granulates and scatters. Juliette has fallen to the ground.

Ajustement(s) was specificaly created in 2019 for the group show “Finale”, Palais des Beaux-Arts, Paris, FR.
