Between perpetual construction and collapse, two performers and some 250 bricks form ephemeral landscapes together. Their encounter traces fragments of houses to inhabit, which in turn fragment the performers’ bodies. Like a living mortar, the movement pours into the interstices of the installation. Conceived as sentient beings, the bricks enter in dialogue with the bodies. Within this evanescent dance, the performers appear and disappear into the material they’re engaging with, opening up a space for reflection on how we build and live in a transforming world.
Since 2019, Philippe Dépelteau has developed a practice intertwined in a dialogue between ecology and the performing arts. Interested in artistic experimentation at a tangible, human scale, Philippe creates performance playgrounds in which somatic experiences meet an architectural scenography composed of abandoned materials. His tender and introspective choreographic universe elicits sensorial engagement as a means of reflection on ecology, habitation, and environmental transformation.
