Philippe Saire presents Black Out at the Attakkalari India Biennial 2015
Black Out, choreographed by Swiss choreographer Philippe Saire is an elegy to our darker side and an appeal for self- contemplation.

About Black Out:
With materiality at the centre of the performance where dancers leave traces of their movement on a floor strewn with black granules, Black Out is an elegy to our darker side, and an appeal for self-contemplation. The proximity of an audience to this shape-shifting piece does not allow a moment of change, however small, to go unnoticed, making one ask: is this intimacy or is this voyeurism?
The choreographer Philippe Saire describes this piece as being at the ‘crossroads of dance and visual art’. It bears both, a plenitude of movement and Saire’s fondness for drawing.
Compagnie Philippe Saire is supported by Ville de Lausanne, Canton de Vaud, Pro Helvetia – Fondation suisse pour la culture, Loterie Romande, Fondation de Famille Sandoz, Pour-cent culturel Migros, La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, Sixt.
