4’30’’, the beat of a song…

…none of it exists, it only takes place in my mind, it only takes place in our collective minds, a journey infinitely slow, incredibly rapid… an immobile journey

…all is black… someone starts to make his machine buzz and whistle…
…one of them dances, the other is not far, another will sing, and still more provide a beat, the same that has already escaped us…
… and then one by one their ghosts follow

…from time, from the space that we fill with all that we are… the song as a mirror, a projection of all possible colours… therefore it will be white

…speak of the link which which unites us all here, the beat of a song, at the interior of this time which does’nt exist… a partition to attempt to seize what has escaped me whilst my spirit roams for this short moment

“4’30’’, the beat of a song that we like, the beat which stretches into a tableau. Not really a figurative dance, simply let the spirit walk free in this song once heard, charged with a deformed history through the reflection of a rear-view mirror where the dancers form a global representation of being between them, in it’s multiple and extreme expressions, from small to giant, from feminine to masculine forms in plural.”
