Choreographing the memory of Bas-Saint-Laurent: a new choreographic-documentary creation on March 3 at the Théâtre des gens d'en bas (Le Bic).
As of February 27, Rhodnie Désir returns to the Bas-St-Laurent to carry out the second part of the residency with Tom Jacques and present the choreographic-documentary work TÈ BIC to the public on March 3!
Through her choreographic-documentary approach, Rhodnie Désir develops a unique creative language (orality) that is born through citizen and local artistic encounters. An anthropological journey that evolves between voices and rhythms.
In summer 2022, Rhodnie Désir anchors herself in the heart of the Bas-Saint-Laurent to create links between the land, the people and her body. From conversation to conversation, she collects the result of the interviews to deliver a unique work of memory: TÈ BIC.
Farmers, artists, entrepreneurs, artisans, patrimony specialists... the choreographer documents the meaning of this land. The first of a long series of works focused on the environment, Rhodnie collaborates here with an artist with the minimalist signature: Tom Jacques. Their approaches are similar in the simplicity of the gesture, both musical and danced. Rhodnie Désir's approach evolves between the writing of several bodies: composition, improvisation, interpretation and scenography. Their collaboration allows the transformation of the collected testimonies into a work of memory relating the perceptible movements of the territory.
