International Festival of Contemporary Theatre
Programme
Meanwhile
8, 9 September 21:00, Former 'Boļševička' textile factory | 10 and 7 eur
Meanwhile is a work about bodies, architectures, and disasters. The performers are evolving in a set that could be an architectural model or installation. Constantly, they have to deal with a destruction’s threat on what they build. By playing with scales, the bodies within the space range from power to helplessness.
The raw materiality of the set, the physical sound and unavoidable language of movement make Meanwhile an apocalyptic performance in which the passage of time and the relationship between man and his environment become tangible. This is a journey through the history of a city.
The work is part of the expanded performance space and scenography programme, Shared Space: Music, Weather, Politics, supported by EU programme Culture.
About artist
French set designer and performance artist Gaëtan Rusquet is currently working and living in Brussels. He has studied applied arts, stage design and performance, and is a part of the network A Space For Live Art. Through stage proposals, installations and performances, he works with the body as a medium and material in transformation, and its relation with the environment – space and audience – which involves questions around intimacy and a consciousness of a shared experience.
