Desire's series #1, whose plastic and interpretative originality cannot, in more ways than one, leave you speechless".
"Christophe Béranger resembles a majestic divinity while deploying an overflowing sensuality".
"A poetic act on a par with a political act, a way of questioning ourselves about the place we want to give to our desires while respecting nature and our humanity!"
Creating an ode to the constrained body, to pleasure held back in a world where the indulgence of our every desire leads inexorably to our own downfall. This desire for ever more, for possession, takes us away from our natural and necessary desires, from ourselves, and ravages our world. An invitation to an intimate journey of powerful fragility, where our relationship with the body is questioned. A ritualized body where proximity to the audience summons the humanity of each individual.
Desire'series#1 plunges the spectator into a procession and an ode to desire. a ritual that sublimates the image of the impeded body, where vulnerability becomes strength, fragility becomes power, and proximity to the audience summons the humanity of each individual."
DESIRE'S SERIES#1 is a project that began as a film shoot... The images from this week-long research have given rise to three short films which are shown during the performance, and can be presented separately.
These photos are the images and making off from the shoot with Fabio Motta and Dorothée Sullam.
