About the project
„A Tiny Cut in a Velvet Dress II – SPACE SEMANTICS“ –
Is an installative performance and a radical further development of A TINY CUT IN A VELVET DRESS into the analogue space, which is characterised by its apparent dissolution in and for the Cubic Studios Düsseldorf.
The performance was conceived for one performer at a time and is divided into three analogue parts of 15 minutes each and also three intermezzi in the form of projections | screens, quasi as intermediate worlds that the audience can experience as they wander between the spaces. The première | prototype of SPACE SEMANTICS took place in Düsseldorf at Cubic Studios. SPACE SEMANTICS seeks its following version and performances primarily in large spaces and especially in museums.
Nathalie Larquet
I like things to develop out of uncertainty and the feeling of exploring new areas linked to our own limits. I try to create an unknown terrain with the protagonist, which doesn’t just refer to the inner states linked to the subject we’re interested in. ….. Working with an intuitive approach plays an important role. The inner dimension that resonates with the space. The inner and outer dialogue finds its dimension in the space and in the interpretation of gestures.
The idea I support is that of creating one’s own rituals, which open up new possibilities of expression and intention in the space. The desire to create a unique and authentic moment, with a framework that can be reproduced while leaving space for the moment, and to be free to insert new elements into each new performance. The ability to adapt to each new space is also a challenge that opens up new possibilities for the piece.
