2003 production Early in the night, three female dancers of the company are "on the game”. Each of them offers passers-by three contemporary dance solos at a bargain price. They go up with their client and drag him or her through a course imagined by visual artist Lionel Lauret to a room decorated like a booth. Only when she is alone with her spectator does she perform the solo s/he chose. Even though the sensuality of these solos is undeniable, their aim is not to tease the spectator sexually. This is not a strip-tease or a table-dancing act. And the structure of “Faux-ciels”, because of its obvious ambiguity, reveals a much more serious issue at stake: i.e. the confusion between dancers and prostitutes, which is still a reality nowadays. In this sense, “Faux-ciels” may be seen as the possibility to be the passive spectator of a few minutes of contemporary dance or as the catalyst of a deeper inquiry on our relationship to women’s bodies. |
