ZONDER
Piece for 3 interprets
Going against the Cartesian imperatives that would that something is methodologically thought, measured, certified, Ayelen Parolin would rather defend a theory of imperfection, in which composition or decomposition are joyfully muddled up to better accommodate uncertainty, mistake and accident as so many paths towards other possibles – towards the unthought.
Following on from SIMPLE and its figure of the idiot, the Argentinian choreographer continues her investigations into the links between dance and defect, failure. In a game of deconstructions as mischievous as exuberant, this new trio resound as a happy manifesto in the face of ambient denial, as well as an enthusiastic ode to the real, to the unpredictable.
(...) Joy is, by is very definition, illogical and irrational...(...) The common language says a lot more about this than we usually think when it speaks of "crazy joy" or delcares someone to be "mad with joy". Such expressions are not only images; they must also be understood literally. For they express the very truth: there is no joy but foolishness, - every joyful man is necessarily and in his own way a fool
