Swiss Dance Production 2021
In “La Peau de l’Espace”, Yasmine Hugonnet returns to solo performance to focus on a new type of study: the body in its spatial context. She harnesses proprioception or “the sixth sense”, which is familiar in the world of dance, to guide her perception of her own body moving through space, her gestures and poses. Her movements are accompanied by vocalisations she calls “anatomical fictions”. Rather than telling a story, however, she invites the audience to share in the thoughts and motivations behind her choreography and experience a form of empathy. Like most of her pieces, “La Peau de l’Espace” is also about physical presence – in this solo work, specifically where form begins and ends in dance. It premièred at Lausanne’s Théâtre de Vidy in November 2021. In addition to theatres, the work is also performed in museums, such as the Plateforme 10 complex in Lausanne.
