Halcyon - Francesca Chudnoff
Nuit Blanche Toronto - The Bentway
Drenched in blue light, dancers will interact with a sound and video installation to explore the relationship between desire and distance.
“Halcyon” is a video and dance performance designed to question the range of ways in which we constantly tune and adjust our self-presentation, both onscreen and in real life.
How do we translate what we feel in our bodies into something material?
Can we turn it into a colour, a pattern, a sound? Immersed in a deep blue field of colour, live dancers will trigger a cascade of melodic sounds with the movement of their bodies.
Nearby, a backdrop of glitching, looping video will evoke an unending process of creation, mutation and disintegration.
The result will be an intimate, embodied performance set against a fragmented data-moshing screen.
A 12-hour performance that evokes questions of labour, fatigue and the limitations of the body, “Halcyon” promises to be a meditation on the accumulation of memory, the disintegration of movement, and the relationship between desire and distance.
Performers: Justin de Luna
