La Suite Logique des Choses

Choreographic performance for nine dancers echoing the exhibition “Claude Viallat: sails, ropes, nets, parasols” at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes in May 2015.

Extending the painter’s research on randomness and repetition, Claude Brumachon imagines an in situ choreography that incorporates an element of chance into its unfolding. Thus, freed from all constraints, the dance unfolds in a play of variations of gestures and colors.

Based on nine scores, the dancers draw a color at random and perform a random dance to Steve Reich’s For 18 Musicians. Each performance differs from the previous one and presents a new dance proposal.

A choreographic piece, somewhere between performance and installation, La Suite Logique des Choses invites the audience to an open artistic encounter where the work of Claude Viallat, the music of Steve Reich, and the dance of Claude Brumachon come together.
