Pleased to meet you

Pleased to Meet You is the meeting of a dancer, a musician, and a sculpture, considered as a score to be transposed into sounds and movements. The game of Dobble and its ancestor, Jacques Cottereau’s “game of insects,” are observation and speed card games that have a particularity: if you take two cards at random, you always find a symbol in common. Pajand seeks to understand how to reconstruct this game and discover projective geometry, where there is an infinite straight line formed by the set of meeting points of parallel straight lines. His sculpture 57 Points de Rencontre is a “representation” of the way the game is constructed, first designed for the heart@geneva art trail, then as an input for Pleased to Meet You. Samuel Pajand and Cosima Grand have already worked together on the dialogue around their practices, music and dance.
