Benjamin Kahn pursues his quest for meaning in this solo performed by the incandescent Sati Veyrunes. Through a powerful physical journey and a vibrant soundscape, Veyrunes voices a range of raw emotions— private, collective, social, ecological, feminist, erotic—expressing joy, despair, madness and terror. There are moments of silence, too, where the choreographer seems to mould the outline of the dancer’s body which glides from one state to the next, from trance to resistance, ecstasy to deliverance, abandonment to explosion. She makes brutal or gentle transitions and takes time out to breathe: her way of dealing with the pessimistic realities of the world’s future. Sati Veyrunes carries within her a vital force, and her ability to voice her deepest, most rebellious feelings makes Benjamin Kahn’s message both powerful and politically relevant.
"Bless The Sound That Saved A Witch Like Me"
Benjamin Kahn
A solo for Sati Veyrunes
Choreographed for and with each performer, Benjamin Kahn’s three solo pieces paint an empirical picture of a generation grappling with global ecological, political and social emergencies. Drawing from conversations with Cherish Menzo, Sati Veyrunes and Théo Aucremanne, this trilogy, where each piece has its own identity but echoes the others, forms a kaleidoscope of emotions. Benjamin Kahn sees the depth and power of each personality and choreographs their private worlds in order to highlight universal truths, presenting three simultaneous relationships with the world in unusual spaces.
