L'Homme rare - T01660274952The issue of gender has always featured in Nadia Beugré's work, but in L'Homme rare she tackles it head-on, questioning the attention paid to bodies and the qualities attributed to their movements. Starting with a game that blurs perceptions of gender, the choreographer places the spectator in the position of a voyeur, inviting the audience to experience her research on our understanding of the body, particularly black and male, in history and today. Drawing inspiration from a series of old photographs of slave markets in Ivory Coast, L'Homme rare also becomes a reflection on the history of Europeans' gaze on black bodies and its persistence today. | |
