Olga de Soto imagined this section during the first lockdown imposed as the health crisis response during the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout the various lockdowns, our relationships with time, space, touch, sight, and action were fundamentally altered by this simultaneously shared, collective and massive experience. Thus, starting from a daily life inclined to retreat and reflection, this space has been imagined to draw other ways of sharing the work, giving it to be seen from different angles. It takes the form of dives, conceived as analytical immersions, where the artist proposes to those who wish to enter some research projects and creative processes in a new way. These immersions are accompanied by documents of various kinds (textual, iconographic, audio-visual), taken from the artist's personal research and creation archives.
INCORPORER CE QUI RESTE ICI AU DANS MON CŒUR
This first immersion coincides in time with the tenth anniversary of the disappearance of Vincent Druguet, who died on April 17, 2010. A passionate dancer, a true working partner with a vast career, he dances for and with Georges Appaix, Odile Duboc, Michèle Rust, Didier Silhol, Michel Kéléménis, Nathalie Collantes, Daniel Larrieu, William Forsythe, Boris Charmatz, Mié Coquempot, Martine Pisani, David Rolland, Stéphanie Aubin and, Fabrice Ramalingom, among others.
This first immersion also coincides in time with the one that should have been the presentation of INCORPORER - KIDs, which had been scheduled from 1st to 3rd April 2020, at the CN D, in Paris. INCORPORER - KIDs is the remake for a children's audience of INCORPORER, a piece created with and for Vincent Druguet, at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in 2004. INCORPORER is the first chapter of a series of four distinct accompanied solos, whose starting point is the performance Éclats mats, created in 2001 and revived in 2005 in that same venue.
The creation of INCORPORER - KIDs was performed with Sylvain Prunenec last year at the invitation of Charleroi dance in Brussels. For these dates at the CN D, on the way to another physical "filiation", the dancer Max Fossati was going to interpret Sylvain's score in the footsteps of Vincent, at the beginning of spring, at the CN D therefore.
