SPEECH | DANCE
Just as the story of Mallarmé’s poem passes from sleep to memory, in a “mental place” where reality, dream and desire are confused, in the same way the space where the dance takes place – the inner world of the faun – is another world where exclusion, courtship and eroticism find their own expressive space.
It is a carpet.
Spreading a carpet continues to be a gesture of considerable symbolic and practical importance for many populations.
It is equivalent to bringing heaven to hell;
The carpet separates two worlds, one real and another made up of dreams and desires.
The carpet at the same time separates and unites the dance from what it is not dance.
