Fantasie minor

Above all, two dan­cers, who take over the stage as if they were con­quer­ing a vacant space. In all their heav­i­ness, they assume their con­tra­dic­tions in response to the sug­ges­tions of the twirl­ing notes of the music: bad-boy atti­tudes, bent backs, legs spread wide… These bod­ies are not to be trifled with. How­ever, it doesn’t take much for the light­ness of Schubert’s Fantasy in F minor to become a play­ground for these two per­formers exper­i­enced in urb­an dance. Pick­ing up the rhythm with twitch­ing shoulders or legs, but also launch­ing into a pas de deux that is equally fraternal and com­pet­it­ive, all in lifts, glissés, piqués and dis­tor­ted pointes… With cho­reo­graph­er Marco da Silva Fer­reira, the weight of the bod­ies, the weight of the music and the weight of the clas­sic­al or hip hop codes are lif­ted to offer new vari­ations, and invent a new space for shar­ing open to sens­ib­il­it­ies. From fra­gile attempts to vir­tu­oso absurdit­ies, anoth­er vis­ion of grace.

    “Oh, there’s a full house. For a dance per­form­ance. And not some old com­mer­cial pirou­et­ting but ‘con­cep­tu­al’ dance. At a time when more and more edit­or­i­als are being pub­lished to lament the lack of spec­tat­ors in movie theatres, the fest­iv­al June Events’ are packed on this Sunday in June. The enchant­ing back­drop of the Car­toucher­ie de Vincennes (where events are organ­ized until June 18) helps draw in the pub­lic of course. But the qual­ity of the pieces must be one of the main attrac­tions, surely; at least when they are of the ilk of Fantas­ie minor, that delight­ful little music box for street­dan­cers, a duet which is as cute and smart as a Wile E. Coyote and the Road Run­ner epis­ode and which is but a simple trans­pos­i­tion exer­cise: if Schubert’s piano duet Fantais­ie en fa mineur was an urb­an dance, then it would be cho­reo­graphed for four feet instead of four hands. Hands and feet are the main char­ac­ters here, gloved and shod all in black – as a con­trast with the small 4sqm white square stage and the white shorts and track­suit jack­ets worn by the per­formers. The four limbs seem to galop around the stage as char­ac­ters of a car­toon. Hands and feet lead the rest of the body which vibrates, quivers, jerks, frets, and slices through to a music that the dan­cers bring to light with visu­al fantasy that recalls “mick­eym­ous­ing”, a pro­cess which des­ig­nates the extreme syn­chron­iz­a­tion of music and car­toon image one can find in bur­lesque cinema or Tex Avery car­toons. Hip hop is a fic­tion­al and illus­trat­ive dance which knows all about this pro­cess. And Por­tuguese cho­reo­graph­er Marco da Silva Fer­reira, an urb­an dance afi­cion­ado, couldn’t dream of a bet­ter set of dumb char­ac­ters than the young Caen dan­cers cast in this pro­ject, Anka Post­ic and Chloé Robidoux, who have been dan­cing togeth­er since they were chil­dren. Their bod­ies, moved by afro-house, elev­ated by elec­tron­ic music, voguing or capoeira, play with per­fect ease with the key pos­tures of the adven­ture duet, between fra­tern­ity, com­pet­i­tion, badass pro­voca­tion, … This short abstract piece com­mis­sioned by the Centre choré­graph­ique nation­al de Caen becomes a strange urb­an buddy movie”

    “In the cen­ter of a bare stage, a white plat­form stands out in the dark­ness. A young woman (Chloé Robidoux) and a young man (Anka Post­ic) are sit­ting in front of it, bick­er­ing, hav­ing fun, egging each oth­er on and help­ing each oth­er out to put on their gloves and adjust their sheer white out­fits. Dressed as twins, the two young artists leap out, hit the ground and enter the ring. They inhab­it the stage with their jerky move­ments, sharp ges­tures, their energy and their crazy vital­ity. The per­form­ance was devised so it could be per­formed any­where and it gives cen­ter stage to a com­mu­nic­at­ive, joy­ful dance, a style that bor­rows from street dance and house, and which pushes the bound­ar­ies of the body with­in a con­stric­ted space. Born of an encounter between CCN de Caen asso­ci­ate artist Marco da Silva Fer­reira and two young Caen hip-hop dan­cers, Fantas­ie Minor relies on a remixed ver­sion of Franz Schubert’s Fantais­ie en fa mineur D.940 by the duet com­posed of Rui Lima and Sér­gio Mar­tins. This emblem­at­ic composer’s score is revis­ited, dynam­ized and cus­tom­ized with elec­tron­ic sounds and ques­tions the struc­ture of the duet. Are they broth­er and sis­ter? Friends? Lov­ers? It is for each of us to decide and to inter­pret their mimet­ism and vari­ations as they please. Chloé Robidoux and Anka Postic’s bod­ies in a trance, exhausted but happy, have conquered the audi­ence by embody­ing in such a strik­ing way the quirky, often dis­cord­ant and always demen­ted gram­mar of the Por­tuguese choreographer.”

    “Among the aston­ish­ing finds of the June Events fest­iv­al, Marco da Silva Fer­reira has presen­ted a mini­ature piece that can be savored like candy. The up-and-com­ing Por­tuguese cho­reo­graph­er was asso­ci­ate artist with Centre Choré­graph­ique Nation­al de Caen. He is expec­ted in the Avign­on Fest­iv­al in July with his latest piece. A self-taught urb­an dance afi­cion­ado, Marco da Silva Fer­reira has con­ceived this mini­ature duet on a 4mx4m square stage that can be set indoors or out­doors. Fantas­ie Minor fea­tures an impress­ive duo: Anka Post­ic and Chloé Robidoux are already on stage when the audi­ence gets in. They are chat­ting, jok­ing around as if they were on the street. Then the per­form­ance starts and we’re hooked. With their gender-neut­ral out­fits, with shorts, black gloves and sturdy black boots, the two per­formers leap onto the stage, hit it in every dir­ec­tion, throw them­selves on the ground and pick each oth­er up, or stand on the tip of their boots like baller­inas in pointe shoes. 4 feet and 4 hands like in Franz Schubert’s Fantais­ie pour piano en fa mineur which sets the tempo. We have all the codes and clichés of urb­an dance, like chal­lenge, humor and com­pet­i­tion where it’s bet­ter to laugh at one­self. With­in 30 minutes, they plow through the minus­cule stage in every dir­ec­tion, and from every angle. Between com­ic­al pliés and dar­ing lifts, Anka Post­ic and Chloé Robidoux are irresistible.”
