Paul-André Fortier - Cabane

Part of Dance Umbrella 2009. One of the highlights of Dance Umbrella 2007 was SOLO 30 x 30 by Paul-André Fortier which he performed outside Liverpool St station to a total audience of over ten thousand people. CABANE continues Fortiers exploration of unusual performance sites, this time using several, surprisingly different indoor locations. Each will create a distinctive ambience and audiences are encouraged to attend the performance in more than one venue. Fortier and visual artist/musician, Rober Racine, are reminiscent of characters from a Beckett play as they skillfully draw the audience in to their eccentric world using movement, audio-visual effects and props as their playthings. The result is at once bizarre, intriguing and touching.
