VIDEO: Preview ESPAECE at BAM

Espaece, a piece by Aurélien Bory, comes to BAM Jun 20-22, 2019. Get a preview below!
An enormous moveable wall splits and folds like a book. Five performers-three dancers, a soprano (Claire Lefilliâtre), and an acrobat-navigate this imposing monolith to create a shapeshifting tableau. Aurélien Bory's intrepid work of physical theater is inspired by the life and work of writer-trickster Georges Perec, best known for his wordplay and droll wit. Using Perec's Species of Spaces as a jumping-off point and diving into a physical riddle of arrivals and departures, presence and absence, Espæce stretches the void of the stage and destabilizes our expectations to moody and mischievous effect.
