Remonter le temps

Remonter le temps is a work created for the Mac Val museum on the occasion of the European Heritage Days

Remonter le temps is a three hours race that evolves from an individual challenge into a common march for freedom. Constructed as a remake of a previously existing performance for the European Heritage Days it questions the survival of the life arts patrimony.

From the series Animate in Slow Motion, initiated in 2009 upon invitation from the Beaux Arts Museum of Angers.
Boris Charmatz states in his Manifesto for the Dancing Museum that the theater can be a place of “immobile gestures”, whereas the museum can be that of “moving oeuvres”.
Producing gestures that are sometimes hardly visible allows poetics of the time to emerge and directs attention to places that the public may have omitted to visit. The bodies of the performers, in a meditative yet very concentrated state, become something between an embodied contemplative attitude and a piece of art.
Works from Animate in Slow Motion are always unique pieces constructed in relation to either the museum itself, a particular exhibition or in dialogue with a specific work of art. They try to investigate the possible relations between the visitors and the space they occupy for the time of their visit.
