Co-production “As we were moving ahead occasionally we saw brief glimpses of beauty” by Gaëtan Rusquet

Bodies live and bodies on video, bodies in a live video – where are the boundaries between being inside and out? The performance envelops its audience like a media body whose pace is set by metronomic devices. The title of this immersive choreography with its excellent dancers is derived from a film record: As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty by avant-garde director Jonas Mekas lasts for five hours and is considered one of the longest experimental films of all time. Gaëtan Rusquet’s fantastic experiment is a 45 minutes long mantra on time circulating and on being enfolded in communities and technologies.
