Inside-Out & Outside-In
Born in 1995, Pierre Piton belongs to a generation that, according to him, is that of an in-between, that of a dystopian utopia. Between anger and fear, the beings of this generation navigate in an impossible future. With Open/Closed, Pierre Piton tries to externalize this duality in order to give the disorder a new strength.
Open/Closed guides the viewer through an intimate research exposing the body ‘inside-out and outside-in’. Imbued with organic sounds, this intimate and conceptual choreographic exploration plays on the ambiguity between intensity and vulnerability of a personal revolution that is as fragile as it is powerful. The boundaries of the self vanish in favor of an experience where the body coincides with that of the other, and is defined in a continuum linking past and future bodies.
