troisième nature (third nature)
creation 2022
​
Seeking to break away from anthropocentric automatisms when creating movement, Florencia Demestri and Samuel Lefeuvre bet with Troisième Nature on the potential for the body to translate non-human, even non-living movements. They believe that the body can function as a landscape, in the sense of a multitude in the making, and then become a surface for the inscription and circulation of a whole diversity of modes of existence.
At the center of a circular installation around which the audience is seated, they recompose a sensitive, non-anatomical body made of a mirror-surface, taking spectators on a journey through the randomness of forms. Rather than a choreographic phrasing or a defined corporality, images follow one another, conjuring up 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 !
