Myriam Gourfink
Marine
10.03.03 - 12AM
Performance — Square Saint-Pierre
Choreography: Myriam Gourfink
Performer: Cindy van Acker
Music composed and performed by Kasper Toeplitz
Costumes: Kova
With mathematical precision, Myriam Gourfink composes a tense and extremely slow dance, which requires the performer to have perfect control of her body and absolute concentration. She seeks minimal, almost imperceptible movement, relying on the long waves of vibrating sounds composed by Kasper Toeplitz. The spectator is drawn into an almost hypnotic experience of obeservation.
Reversing the roles, the dancer Cindy van Acker commissioned the solo Marine to be choreographed. The subtle "tailor-made" work that Myriam Gourfink weaves into it underlines both the singularity of her approach and the qualities of the performer.
