Choreography by Paul-André Fortier, in a stage design created by visual artist Takao Minami. Paul-André Fortier created Solo 1x60 - Un jardin d’objets at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media in Japan, while presenting his site-specific Solo 30x30, a 30 minute piece, performed outdoors for 30 days. The choreographer conceived Solo 1x60 with a return to the theatre in mind. "Solo 1x60 establishes a complex set of relationships between dance, image and music. A man dances alone on an urban tension wire. This bold tightrope walker appears eager to contravene established codes, proposing a new look at man in the city." – Paul-André Fortier Solo 1x60 combines lights, videos and refined, yet surprising sounds. For this creation, Paul-André gathered his team of artistic collaborators, as well as Japanese video artist Takao Minami. By sharing his space with other creators, he reveals once more his interest in the integration of different art forms. These combined talents create a stylized world, where one can express a rigorous and untamed dance. In a visual environment near the installation, or rather a garden of objects created by Takao Minami, this “man who dances” reveals to the public precise gestures and a controlled energy. Whether the movements are graceful or harsh, symmetrical or contorted. With Solo 1x60, Paul-André Fortier probes deeper into the themes he cherishes. Choreographer of his time, he questions the human being’s resonance in an urban universe, and the place one forges for oneself in the midst of it.
