The Complete Works, Nina Beier
Lafayette Anticipations9 rue du Platre 75004 PARIS Created in 2009, The Complete Works is based on an invitation to retired professional dancers to perform a look back at the choreographies they danced throughout their careers.
The performance straddles the boundary between the mental space - where each dancer revives the memories of a former career - and its physical resonance, translated into movements that are carried by the body's memory.
The audience thus witnesses the unfolding of cerebral and muscular memories, which come up against gaps and physical incapacities, and is rewritten in action. The Complete Works makes visible that which we usually try to hide in dance: imperfection, fatigue, forgetfulness and the effects of time on the body.
The performance gives way to a new choreography, sculpted from memory. For the presentation at Lafayette Anticipations, Nina Beier has called on two Étoiles of the Paris Opera: Alice Renavand and Karl Paquette.
