weightlessness, grace, edge of dreams
“I came up with this programme because I’d reached an age where I could imagine the broad strokes of my life to come, no matter the actual course of events, and speak of this future as if it were the past.
This was not a sudden realization but a growing awareness over time.
No matter the number of days left, no matter how optimistic the prognosis, those days would not be enough. My idea was to stall time. Of course this was impossible, but there were ways to approach the subject. The project would be straightforward, definitive. I decided upon a simple phrase to give the work a name: ‘Tentative approaches to a suspension point’.
Something like an urge to create. We started working on the details. A collection of smaller acts can be just as powerful as a single work. Pieced together in a program they have a common goal: to grasp the present. The physical interlocking of the constructions on stage – the amalgam of various apparatus and machinery, how they relate to each other, to the space and to the audience – join in pursuit of that one moment: ‘The moment of suspension.’”
Yoann Bourgeois
Yoann's pieces widely center around moving performers on dynamic sculptures. He is notable for having a revolving staircase with a trampoline in the center. In addition, he puts performers on spinning platforms and utilizes the Centripetal and Centrifugal forces to create dramatic effects.
He refers to the weightless moments in the acts as suspension points. These are times where the performers reach Zero Gravity . It can also refer to the relative movements of performers on a spinning platform. He strives for Equilibrium in his acts.
Yoann Bourgeois is considered a nouveau-cirque acrobat, bringing elements of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton 's Absurdism and silent acts.
