A site-specific trilogy
2021 - 2022 - 2023
In ”Trilogy For Educational Spaces”, Convoi Exceptionnel explores a gymnastics hall, a swimming pool and a classroom with strong conceptual, aesthetic and performative means. In the very different performances, we invite the audience inside educational spaces and institutions, which intervene deeply with our bodies and minds. The trilogy is about memories, responsibility, formation, class and the understanding of what a "we" is based on.
The gymmastic hall – “Moving a memory” - 2021
An acoustic choreographic work and an exhibition are created that thematise the body's memories from this concrete space. 3 dancers and one musician on stage.
The swimming pool – “CRAWL CRAWL CRAWL” - 2022
A choral work is composed for 12 singers and a conductor, staged in a pool.
The classroom – ”You are a day tomorrow” - 2023
A text based binaural audio play and sound work, experienced with headphones in a classroom.
We dive into what narratives, phenomena, and experiences that already exist in these spaces that we all have a relationship with. Spaces that is far back in time for an adult audience, and whose experiences have become memories. For a younger audience, it is part of their real time and everyday life. Their here and now.
Audience
The performance is created for a young audience (high school classes) and an adult audience. We find these groups in collaboration with local producers and festivals. Convoi Exceptionnel wants to work with local friendship classes connected to the presentations.
