S’entraîner les dents

Marco Berrettini is a choreographer who is as whimsical as he is political. This performance is based on the theme developed by the painter Yan Li, i.e., “training” one’s teeth. Berrettini develops a choreographic method that refers to Jackson Pollock, whose expressionist-abstract painting has long inspired him. He seeks to create works that move from the concrete to the abstract, and from the abstract to the concrete, giving the performers a framework through the hanging of the paintings, the soundtrack and the dramaturgy. He compares the project to “eating a banana from both ends simultaneously to find the balance in the middle.”
