Acum

Bringing the Spirit back to itself, where the interior vision perceives the spaces we live in. Based on Gaston Bachelard’s “Poetics of Space”. These spaces contain the corridors of our spirit such as memories of mysteries sheltered by sacred spaces and places. Sanctuaries of our imaginary world, houses, corners, attics, basements and of the vastness of our innermost thoughts which give the mind a sphere of Universal Consciousness. Explorations in the heart of the spiritual dimensions of our being. I am the space where I am... (Noël Arnaud)

This space contains a poetic isolated zone of creative adventures. Why this work? Because it is aimed at those indelible houses and places where we live, witnesses of the humanity’s intense aspiration to security and of its attachment to the development of the mysterious forces at the basis of the tangible reality of our profane and sacred values. An acknowledgement of our everyday lives in focus. The minuscule immensity of our presence in the Universe. An act in 7 metaphorical parts: the house, from the basement to the attic, the drawers, the chests, the cabinets locking away secrets, the nests and the cocoons, corners of solitude and dreams; from the minuscule to the intimate immensity; the eternal circle, inside and outside.

Each of the 7 parts will be cut through by a poem of Miłosz, Rilke, Baudelaire... Hurricanes, storms and hailstorms haunt the “poetics of space”; all those quakes turn the most modest hut into a sturdy refuge. What Baudelaire uses in order to enlarge our comprehension of the house and the universe. The minuscule and the immensity. Because dance is inherently wordless, this creation is no other than a participation to the continuous flow expressed by time and space. A one hour and twenty minutes long contemplative metaphor.
