ODYSSÉES IMPRESSIONNISTES

ODYSSÉES IMPRESSIONNISTES was the first choreographic exhibition of our work cycle ODC : odyssey: a first assembly of Unready Mades, created for the festival Normandie Impressionniste 2024 with Le Phare – Centre chorégraphique national du Havre Normandie and the Maison de l'architecture de Normandie – le Forum in Rouen. Drawing on twenty years of choreographic, cultural and human experience in France, Germany and abroad, particularly in Asia, eight international artists shared a new degree of intimacy and transparency: an updated impression, an essence of the journey.

Le Havre. On 24 May, the parachute of Unready Made #1 rose on the beach of Le Havre, carried by the dancers and the wind. On 25 May, as part of Plein Phare Out, Le Phare became the setting for a four-hour performance composed of Unready Mades #3 to #7. Visitors could also join a workshop in the shifts studio.

Rouen. From 17 to 28 May, the Maison de l'architecture shared the resources of the project as an exhibition: a 120-metre suspended fabric with 333 photographs chosen from twenty years of projects, resonating across the times of their making; walls showing the rhizome-like nature of our methods, linking the shape and function of mycelium and fascia to the idea of a social tissue and to the complexity of the mind; notes and drawings from choreographic works. Live moments took place on 17, 18 and 28 May, and Unready Made #2 closed the exhibition.
