Description

The duet “The Perineum Triangle“ explores the vibrant space between intimacy and formality, abstract sexuality and explicit distance. The performers throw themselves into a journey driven by desire in which the body functions both as material and a vehicle for energetic exchange. The naked and minimal space is contrasted by traditional music from the 17th cen- tury, baroque dances and ornamental flowers, which spread their tempting aroma into the room. In this setting the meeting bodies construct and destroy - as serious as children at play.

Concept, dance: Julian Weber, Lyllie Rouviere | Funded by Senatsverwaltung Kultur und Europa, Tanzfabrik Berlin and in the frame of apap – Performing Europe 2020, co-funded by Creative Europe Programme der EU.

Biographies

July Weber

July Weber (alle Pronomen) is a choreographer, performer, curator, and sculptor. Working at the intersection of choreography and visual art, July explores interactions between body, material, and movement, informed by new materialist approaches and the deconstruction of power relations between human and non-human agents. Collision functions as a central principle—both as a moment of intense encounter and as an overlap of bodies, practices, and disciplines. July presents work internationally, has received awards including the Berlin Art Prize, was invited to Tanzplattform, and founded NEW FEARS, an award-winning gallery for transdisciplinarity.

In 2010, she graduated from National School, Paris-La-Villette, studying architecture, and in 2017, from « dance, context, choreography » at the Inter-University Center for Dance Berlin (HZT). Lyllie locates her work at the nexus of spatialities and bodies. Her performances have been presented in France (Festival Artdanthé, Festival d’Avignon off, Mains d’Oeuvres), Germany (Performing Arts Festival Berlin, Radialsystem V, Deutsches Architektur Zentrum) and in Iran (Invisible Centre of Contemporary Dance). She works as a dancer with Julie Desprairies (Centre Pompidou Metz, Nuit Blanche Paris) and Doris Uhlich (Kaserne-Basel, Donaufestival-Krems).
