Benoît Lachambre
In collaboration with Danse Danse Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal invites you to discover the work of choreographer and performer Benoît Lachambre who will occupy our spaces from January 20 to 31 for a creative residency alongside Charlie Prince. During 10 days, their choreographic experiments will take place in the heart of our exhibitions and will be accessible to the public.
L’Ogre, le Phoenix et l’ami fidèle (le chien de feu)...
Benoît Lachambre, artist choreographer, performer, and artistic director of Par B.L.eux is currently in the research phase for L’Ogre, le Phoenix et l’ami fidèle (le chien de feu)... Last creation of a trilogy which began with Lifeguard and Fluid Grounds, this production pursues some of the major reflections on transdisciplinarity that were initiated in the first two works.
Benoît Lachambre started the first stage of creation for this third component last December with Lebanese-Canadian dance artist Charlie Prince. They work in reference with Lebanese artist Tarek Chemaly’s multimedia work.
In January 2020, they will begin a new phase of their work during this residency made possible thanks to Danse Danse and Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal. The inclusion of Charlie Prince’s creative interests in Arab futurism feed this new step’s process. Benoît Lachambre and Charlie Prince wish to work with questions regarding healing, recognition, and resilience. They will thus call out to the presences passing through them.
