ÉCLATS MATS
With Éclats Mats, a piece for three dancers and a viola player, Olga de Soto continues the work of reflection and analysis surrounding movement, which she began in 1996. She also continues to dive into the musical world of the Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino, this time accompanied by violist Garth Knox.
One of the starting points of this work is the use and study of different words which express actions, states and evolutions: the use of verbs and the joining of their meanings.
In Éclats mats, the choreographer wishes to affirm her relation to music not as an accompaniment relationship, where the gesture is directly linked to the musical work, but rather as a confrontation of two parallel reflections, two experiences of time and space. Faced with the musical explorations of Sciarrino, Olga de Soto creates a dance which questions itself about the mechanisms of its language and which explores both the genesis and the motors of movement.
