LE RENARD NE S’APPRIVOISE PAS

solo for Nina Santes

 

Thursday 11th of July till Sunday 21st of July – 18:30

at CDC Les Hivernales  Avignon

 

Mylène Benoit is working with hybrids, clashing dance and visual arts  : at the crossing between dance and visual arts, LE RENARD NE S’APPRIVOISE PAS (You can’t tame a fox) is looking at the core of performing, exhibiting, exposing oneself. Is sight a weapon ? Can it be reversed ? Nina Santes uses tricks to cheat our vision : if she closes her eyes or if she is blind, can she make us disappear ? Using simulation, phosphorescence, songs and magical feats, Nina plays about with our perception.

Mylene Benoit is a french visual artist and choreographer, trained at the University of Westminster in London (BA in Contemporary media practice), and at the University of Paris 8 (Master in Hyperdocuments multimedia), then at Fresnoy, National Studio of Contemporary Arts of Tourcoing. She founded the dance company Contour Progressif in 2004. She is associated to the Theatre Vivat (Armentières) from september 2011.
