Le jardin des délices
2020
Performance
32 minutes
Gardens of Combelongue Abbey
As part of Prendre Corps #2, event initiated by Les Bazis, L’oeil du Souffleur and Les Abattoirs, Frac - Occitanie, Toulouse, France
Evoking Jérôme Bosch’s famous triptych in its title, this performance adopts its tripartite rhythm, as well as certain iconographies. In response to the specific context of the French garden at Combelongue Abbey, it also explores the relationship between the body – chaotic, free, unruly – and the symmetrical, meticulous, disciplined composition of the garden. Ultimately, a painting, like a garden, is a frame from which the body withdraws.
