Seeking to break away from anthropocentric automatisms in their movement research, Florencia Demestri and Samuel Lefeuvre are betting with Troisième Nature on the possibility of a translation, through the body, of non-human or even non-living movements. They are betting on the possibility of a body that becomes a landscape, in the sense of a multitude in the making, a body that can become the surface for the inscription and circulation of a whole diversity of modes of existence. At the centre of a circular device around which the audience is seated, they recompose a sensitive, non-anatomical body, made up of a mirror surface that takes spectators on a journey through the randomness of forms.
Rather than a choreographic phrasing or a defined physicality, the images follow one another, invoking the phenomenon of pareidolia – that spontaneous transformism of the visible, which can make us see a horse in a cloud, or a mountain range in patches of humidity! An eminently modellable material, escaping any reduction to prefabricated interpretations, the metamorphosis at sight of this ‘Third Nature’ is part of the movements of a living poetry.
