Corps mort

Corps mort features three performers and eight chairs suspended by a rope and pulley system. With this performance, Martin Messier continues his reflection on matter, gravity and movement. By controlling the performers’ actions and the movement of the chairs simultaneously, he rethinks the relationship between living and inert, loud and silent bodies. The chairs are not fastened to the ground to support the weight of bodies; nor are they immobile and silent anymore. They float, move and are heard in a moving scenography orchestrated and choreographed by Messier. They become, like the performers, full-fledged members of the cast.
