Foreshadow
Alexander Vantournhout
In 2023, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting La Bâtie – Festival de Genève for the presentation of Foreshadow by Alexander Vantournhout.
Following Alexander Vantournhout's solo performance in VanThorhout, Not Standing returns with eight acrobat/dancers in Foreshadow. Accompanied by experimental rock music, they move like the gears of a collective bodily mechanism. Together, they explore nearly impossible balances, challenge each other and defy gravity.
With tightly orchestrated landscapes of chaotic movement, this piece continues Vantournhout's exploration of the relationship between gravity, movement, balance and spatiality. While the floor played a significant role in SCREWS and Through the Grapevine, this time the wall becomes a dance partner in its own right.
