‘Blast’ – Hélène Rocheteau & Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy
BIO
Blast is an English word synonymous with breath effect.
Blast is a percussive duet born from the meeting between Hélène Rocheteau, choreographer and dancer, and Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, composer and drummer. Collision, where the body tries to enter the sound or to let itself be crossed by it.
Resonance between the body – the power it conceals – and the power of the drums.
Ritualizing their approach, body and drums are in search of a raw energy, of collapses and wavering necessary to touch the limits, between tension and abandonment, in an organic, sensitive, visceral relationship. The body retranscribes the pulsation, the sound relies on syncopations, the loops rumble, the body becomes instinctive. The spectator is plunged into a hallucinatory experience made of black holes, flashes, stroboscopic visions.
Neither a concert nor a choreographic piece, Blast makes us lose our bearings and invites us to other thresholds of perception. Electroshock without concession, music and dance seek their cathartic fusion point.
