Joseph
Nadj, the last paysage (51 minutes, 2006, France)
dir: Josef Nadj
A moving
self-portrait – a dialogue of the artist with his art
form, with his past and with his present.
Paso
doble (41 minutes, 2006, France)
dir: Agusti Torres
chor.: Josef Nadj and Miquel Barceló
“Paso
Doble” is the dance inspired by the Spanish bullfight
(a dance to the death). A living sculpture. Emerging from a
giant wall of wet red clay onto a stage made of ten tons of
the same, two black-suited protagonists chop, slap, shape and
reshape the heavy material. They use outsize tools and the impact
of their own bodies to form amazing shapes and structures. This
extraordinary collaboration between a dancer-choreographer and
visual artist explores the act of artistic creation itself,
offering a revealing glimpse into the obsessions, anxieties
and excitement experienced by artists in the process of making
unconventional new work . Underscored by Alain Mahé’s
live soundscape the two bodies gradually disappear as if absorbed
into their canvas, themselves a part of the endless work-in-progress.
For more
than two decades Josef Nadj
conjures absurd worlds onto the stages of
Europe. Noticeably aligned to his country, the former Yugoslavia,
and having lived in the dance country France for a long time,
he creates scenic marvels as wanderer between cultures, which
are, in all silence and melancholy, of strong identity and
full of visions about our personhood.
Miquel
Barceló is a Catalan visual artist,
an acclaimed painter, sculptor and ceramist who has represented
his country at the Venice Biennale. Originally inspired by
Jackson Pollock, his work is visceral and physical; an active
engagement with the materials he chooses to work with. Clay
has been a material of choice in much of his work, which has
included the creation of a ceramic covering of the roof of
the Catedral de Palma de Majorca. Previous to performing in
Paso Doble he has never been on stage, but believes that painting
can be pretty theatrical.
