At the end of the performance on Friday 5 April there will be the meeting “<\/strong>The political gesture of a body-archive<\/em>“.
The body-archive and gesture as instruments of an investigation into violence, at the centre of Zo\u00eb Demoustier’s work, are themes that also belong to other contemporary dance experiences.
One of the most significant is that of Arkadi Zaides and his “Archive”, in which the dancer’s body interprets the proxemics of war, calling into question the gaze of the spectator.
To these intersections is dedicated the meeting with Zo\u00eb Demoustier, moderated by Camilla Lietti and Francesca Serrazanetti (Stratagemmi<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Unfolding an Archive<\/em>, Zo\u00eb Demoustier unfolds an image archive of 20 years of war reporting. The man behind the camera is her father Daniel Demoustier. The search for a relationship to the imagery of world events with which she grew up is like a movement from far and near. In an attempt at a reconstruction, she brings the archive to life. She dismantles the mechanisms hidden behind the archive images. Gradually, a choreography of poses and gestures is created in a broken timeline of physical memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab In Unfolding an Archive<\/em> I investigate what news is, how journalism works, how you use images to place reality in a certain frame. But there is also a second, much more personal track: what has my father\u2019s special job done to me? It took a long time before I dared to put that into the performance. At some point I realized I couldn\u2019t avoid that question. And that those apparently very personal topics \u2013 how
our family functioned, the father-daughter relationship, the question of how present a parent should be \u2013 are just very universal: everyone has to deal with them. \u00bb Zo\u00eb Demoustier in HUMO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zo\u00eb Demoustier (1995)<\/strong> is performer and choreographer. The body is always the starting point for her visual representations. From movement she makes links with topical and committed subjects to create documentary choreographic work. Zo\u00eb made the performances nesten <\/em>(fABULEUS\/Anna Bentivegna & Ayrton Fraenk), Road to Nowhere <\/em>(Forsiti\u2019A\/Yelena Schmitz), Born to be wild <\/em>(Thespikon) and worked as a performer and assistant with Kabinet K, Michiel Vandevelde, Alma S\u00f6derberg\/Manyone, Iris Bouche\/Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, David Weber Krebs and Marcelo Evelin. In 2021 she was ambassador of Dance Day in which she created tomorrow\u2019s dance makers in collaboration with De Zendelingen. From 2022 she will start a new collaboration as a choreographer at Ultima Vez. Unfolding an Archive <\/em>is her first solo performance, for which she has already initiated within the Directing course at the RITCS and Cultural Studies at the KU Leuven. In the performance she uses techniques from the mime corporel tradition that she learned during her studies at the Mime Education in Amsterdam. For Unfolding an Archive <\/em>she works closely with musician and sound designer Willem Lenaerts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
