KEVIN JEAN: THE 36th CHAMBRE

Place:
In the frame of Open Latitudes 3 „Showcase programme” SÍN Culture Centre has invited Kevin jean from France. His solo production „The 36th Chambre” will be seen at SZIGET Festival Culture Zone, 13-17 August 2014.

A perceptive game between the verticality, possible imbalances, slide, swing, pendulum.
From slow dripping to planing speed.

A foot injury led Kevin to reflect on the role of a non-virtuous body in dance. Can the change be made less dramatic by inverting our perspective and changing the perception of gravity? Hanging upside down, the artist offers surprising variations on the falling and the strangeness of a body in unusual positions, with uneasy but fluid movements. He tackles failure, a foreign body that must be conquered and overcome.

Find him every day afternoons on a special spot of the SZIGET!
