Watching people eat is a strange form of aesthetic contemplation, a procedure with almost monstrous facets. Boris Charmatz’s new dance performance focuses on the contradiction between the preferably invisible and yet simultaneously demonstrative process of eating, on how we devour and digest reality, on the idea of making things disappear and performing an everyday operation. The passionately discussed world premiere at this year’s Ruhrtriennale once again demonstrated just how capable this French dancer and choreographer is of undermining expectations and rules of form and by doing so expanding the limitations of choreographic space. Most recently, Charmatz presented his production Partita 2 together with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker in May 2014.
