900 Something Days Spent in the XXth Century
Némo Flouret
In 2023, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the Ménagerie de verre for the presentation of 900 Something Days Spent in the XXth Century by Némo Flouret, as part of Les Inaccoutumés Festival 2023.
900 Something Days makes a direct link between urban and industrial spaces present in the landscapes of today’s cities. Conjuring an urban cartography through dance, using these tools as spaces for reflection and collective actions, creating new traces with the body, in spaces that are both distant and disconnected…this piece invites one to imagine how these dances, these bodies, these occupied spaces can serve to create a pathway, a trajectory uniting these abandoned spaces and contexts, binding them through memory and the collective, poetic and political dimension of this event.
