BRILLIANT CORNERS
EMANUEL GAT DANCE (2011)
The work explores the forces, both mechanical and human, which generate the choreographic substance. The ever evolving structures are a direct manifestation of these forces and as such, hold reveling qualities and possible insights. Within the simplicity and clarity of a well-determined square of light, unfolds an ever-changing choreographic organism. An explosion of simultaneous ideas, BRILLIANT CORNERS functions as a seismograph of choreographic activity, tracking its vanishing structures and multiple perspectives, exposing both the fragility of the choreographic moment and its burning relevancy. A flow of kinetic events with endless rhythmic and melodic layers, BRILLIANT CORNERS moves through time and space in elaborate counterpoint, built around an intimate confidence in the capacity of the choreographic process to invent structures, which hold fundamental truth.

Evoquant par son titre le célèbre BRILLIANT CORNERS de Thelonious Monk (1957), Emanuel Gat dédicace sa création à l’incomparable liberté créative du pianiste pour nous livrer via ce moment d’exception une réflexion sur l’infime des constructions humaines au coeur d’un monde pris dans la tourmente. Brillantissime.
