George Pérec’s universe inspires an artistic and joyful human microcosm
Aurélien Bory has always been a creator of intriguing vertical or sloping spaces where it’s possible to slip, to climb or to hang off. “We roam them and through them we discover our relation to the world”, Aurélien wrote about his work “Géométrie de caoutchouc”. And suddenly, everything changes. Everything but his imagination. « Espæce » examines George Pérec’s world, transformed into a huge space, riddled with letters, invaded by words. Between the gigantic pages of an ogre who would have disguised himself as a book, we meet a joyful artistic humankind microcosm: an actor, a dancer, a singer, a contortionist and an acrobat. While young Pérec’s dramas still echo in these vulnerable pranksters, they join forces to face the tragedy through their sense of humor and thanks to music and acrobatics. All in all, a beautiful philosophic vitality.
