Five dancers, together with the scenography, embody six science-fictional entities known as 'Mossy'. As a continuation of her previous creations, Louise Vanneste pursues her choreographic exploration of the profound links between humans and geological phenomena, in particular the metamorphic cycle of rocks.
In a kaleidoscopic style, midway between choreography and literary writing, she forges a dreamlike universe at the intersection of narrative and abstraction, human and non-human, the imaginary and the tangible. Sound, text, light, materials, bodies and space all interact in perfect harmony. For the scenography of this new production, Vanneste has teamed up with Belgian visual artist Kasper Bosmans, who also seeks to blur the boundaries between nature and fiction. Bosmans’ work, like that of Vanneste, oscillates with the creation of images that are hyper-expressive yet defy interpretation.
With Mossy Eye Moor, Vanneste demonstrates that our imagination has the power to connect with what is different, what is bigger than ourselves, and what we cannot immediately perceive. She sees the body as a breeding ground for thoughts and physical sensations, capable of emancipating us from a polarised order.
