Such a Devoted Bunch by Ruth Childs and Cécile Bouffard
The Anglo-American choreographer Ruth Childs and the French visual artist Cécile Bouffard are interested in our obsessions, in bodily memory and in the survivals of folklore in the contemporary world. Both an installation and a performance for three dancers, Such a Devoted Bunch questions, through gestures and objects, the mechanisms of devotion and obsession.
From the moment they met, Ruth Childs and Cécile Bouffard were struck by the complementarity of their work. Since then, physical contact with Cécile's sculptures has deeply marked Ruth's body. Guided by these forms and signs, she draws from them a freedom of play and of reinventing the gesture. Together, their worlds converse around genres and manners in a sensory experience where matter, sound and movement intertwine.
