I thought I was falling forever
suspended by a few strings I lost the sens of gravity
gradually droped I found an empty earth
I am split in two parts
and always keep one in the shadow
my breast has been opened for such a long time, and my heart guarded by others
now I gather myself into my solitudes
Julie Nioche
"Using surprisingly basic elements - here, a system of ropes and weights -, Julie Nioche creates a dreamlike choreography, poised between freedom and constraint. Accompanied by guitar player Alexandre Mayer, she rises, falls and is suspended into space in reaction to opposing forces. The work reflects on the tensions which bring people together and apart."
Extract from Paris autumn festival’ program - by Gilles Amalvi
Press review
“Until Nos solitudes, we might think our body weight is pretty much a constant, a given. Fine. But if that body is suspended, it has neither the means nor a reason to move. Julie Nioche is suspended but she never stops moving, with her own impulses, subtly modulated and tuned, generating just the energy necessary, supplementary to her weight, allowing her to pull herself up, to elevate herself, to move around, to curl up, relax, levitate, wiggle, sink down, even to spread her wings …”
