Description
The DDD – Festival Dias da Dança offers us the body of a whistling sleepwalker who, in his wanderings, creates a bridge between the mental and physical worlds, exploring exquisite combinations of movement and music. After a number of group pieces, French dancer and choreographer Boris Charmatz returns to the minimal (and intimist) solo form. SOMNOLE results from the assemblage of two concepts: somnolence, a state between sleeping and waking that is conducive to imaginative flights; and whistling, a sort of breathing that generates a string of melodic reminiscences, where snatches of classical music mingle with film themes or standards from the French and American songbooks. As he dances and whistles for his own enjoyment, “like one creating a stable centre inside chaos”, Boris Charmatz defines an itinerary that conveys the richness and disorder of his inner world.
