Aberration

Emmanuel Eggermont / L'Anthracite (Lille)  

15 – 16 Oct 2021 | Potsdamer Tanztage 2021Dance / performance

Between darkness and light, a play of visible transformation emerges, gracefully taking shape. Not everything seems to be as it appears. In reference to the concept of "aberration" from astronomy, which means a difference between the apparent direction of a star and its actual direction, the piece is based on a choreographic study that tests the ability to estimate. It acts as a shift towards a twisted and subtly absurd universe in which each shade of grey opens up a new palette of images.

"Aberration [...] imprints its mystery on the mind. But there is nothing hermetic about it. Emmanuel Eggermont, his pageboy figure, his gaze obsessed by a mysterious landscape, his classical technique imbued with numerous inspirations, form a coherent and personal universe, permeable to all our reveries".
Alexander Demidoff, "Emmanuel Eggermont, a dream of dance in Geneva", Le Temps, 2020

"Emmanuel Eggermont's piece is characterised by an objective beauty. Wherever you look, it is clear that everything is in harmony. And although beauty is not what he is looking for, it results from this search."
Muriel Weyl, "White beauty", I/O Gazette, 2020
