Live Performances
Skall (France) - Mo' Mohamed Benhadj (Algeria) - Sasha Frolova (Russia)
Skall (France) Untitled
SKALL likes to make these practices permeable, his performance borrows certain elements from his sculptures and ephemeral installation devices are often the scene of his performances. He then transforms himself into a cloud, a bird of paradise, or a fauna dressed with raw chicken slippers, his head covered with branches or feathers ...
We understand that he is at the head of a universe from which he delivers, each public appearance, that some quick glimpses, but of which it controls coherence and unity. SKALL is himself the most convincing of his creations
Mo' Mohamed Benhadj (Algeria) Reverence
"I see the best and I make the worst"
The human condition is complex. The being is alone with his multiple nature, overwhelmed by desires, emotions and passions, has an eagerness to know the possible dimensions of his being, shared between Sacred and Profane -Original Contradiction-.
How to achieve the union between freedom and constraint of the world? How to anchor me in the center of myself?
This chimera inside me will have "Reason" of the "Me", or my soul like a bird, may reach another reality?
This work is the research: This spiritual equation, leave the split space: Achieving the Ultimate "Reverence" in the face of life reaching all.
Sasha Frolova (Russia) Aquaaerobika
Aquaaerobika is a project synthesizing art-performance and electronic music.
Electro-pop, 8bit, disco-house music and futuristic inflatable costumes from latex are mixed in a vivid spectacular pop-art show. Dancers in avant-garde Bauhas-style costumes with huge inflatable decorations and objects look rather like a live sculptures and turn the whole show in one moving sculpture.
Aquaaerobika's author is Moscow based artist - Sasha Frolova. She presents herself in the show as a virtual singer, animated style character of universal superwoman from the future with ultra-abilities. The plot of the show is an endless travel through parallel worlds of future.
