Disorder, work in progress…

23 Feb

Disorder is the collision between Kevin Ramseier, dancer & comedian, and François Moncarey, programmer.

Kevin has been educated in the “Conservatoire of Geneva” and  from “Le Studio des bains”, is found of new scenic expressions. François, was educated at “Les Gobelins’, creates video generated by algorithms inspired by the existing movements in nature.
Together, with a transmitter and an infrared camera, they create “Disorder”, a performance mixing contemporary dance and generative video.

Through an audacious choreography, come to assist to the fluctuating mood of an individual with a bipolar behavior, switching from the energy of madness to the most total emptiness…

Robert Seidel – Chiral

I lost track of this intuition until I just reacently saw this excerpt from Book of Days by Meredith Monk. And there it was again..
