POST-SHOW DISCUSSIONon 24 March after the performance with Virginie Brunelle moderated by Szemessy Kinga dancer, dance researcher in English interpreted in Hungarian.
Foutrement explores infidelity: men and women at the mercy of temptation and primal instincts. Three dancers—a man and two women, in love, ripped apart, wounded, betrayed— move with racked bodies, sagging under the weight of Love’s disillusionment. Throughout their sexual adventures, the illusion of love persists, doubt mixes with desire, and what began as attraction ends in obsession. When reason becomes passion’s slave, love and sex are confused, and the game of seduction mixes with the game of the forbidden, ecstasy and suffering become one.
A string of scenes expertly interwoven by light and music, Foutrement draws its inspiration from classical dance, yet is unashamedly contemporary. At times lyrical, at times agitated and choppy, Virginie Brunelle's work is always physically powerful and remarkably emotive.
