L'abîme, temps 3 de À l'Est de Nod

Artistic Direction: Andréane Leclerc
This showcase proposes L'abîme, the third time of À l'Est de Nod, a solo performance by Neil Sochasky. The triptych À l'Est de Nod unfolds in 3 performance-installations within which the spectators wander at their own pace: La forêt, L'errant·e and L'abîme. This evolving creation proposes an experiential reflection on the physical and psychic limits, both intimate and political, that we share. The artist and project leader Andréane Leclerc is inspired by contortion, which she has been practicing for over twenty years, to create a score in which different body-natures move, more instinctive and cosmic than social and disciplinary. The creation thus questions our relationship to the corporal, social and institutional space. The question "how does contortion inform non-contortionist bodies?" marks the starting point of this singular artistic approach that meditates and questions the concept of limit as a structure.
