Martine Pisani does not delve into the spectacular. With Slow down she develops personal research and questions the limits of presence, what it means to ‘be there’ onstage. Absence, effort, concentration, weight, fatigue, speed, elan, idleness… Slow down. Prey to clashing drives, the six performers seem to struggle with this directive. They look around, they waver, they brood. The stage is bare, stripped of décor and dramatic progression. The performers take turns disappearing behind a mysterious black panel. They thus each seem be conveying their own uniqueness while at the same time they come across as replaceable and interchangeable, since only five of them ever appear at a time. In a delicate exercise of reunion, whether the dancers are lining up for a ground-contact improvisation or else humming pop standards in chorus, there is always the same startling funniness, the same up-beat joy.
