Gerro, Minos and Him / Simon Tanguy, Roger Sala Reyner and Aloun Marchal
After winning the second price at Danse Élargie in 2010 for their 10 minute piece, Gerro en Minos are back with Him in a full blown contemporary dance performance.
In Gerro, Minos and Him, three performers shift their own bodies from loneliness to togetherness, from sensation to dance soli, from grotesque to subtle movement, from burning to shining, from shedding to rebirthing. The energy they share goes in and out, placing the audience into confusion about who is leading and who is following. The playful relationship they have is one of childhood: light, cruel, honest and passionate. Their journey passes through body landscapes. Through simultaneously poetic and violent realities.
Can they consider and conceive past, present and future in the very same moment in space?
