} OuVert { recounts the making of Go On! from the
initial stages to the final stages. It is both the genesis and the continuity
of Go On!. OuVert is a change in focus on one of the characters in Go On!,
a close-up view of a particular intimacy. This solo, which creates and recreates
the satellite role of Christophe Le Goff, enables the audience to discover
the embedded story of this lonesome character. On scene, the change in angles
and the focus on detail highlight his technical proficiency. The setting of
the scene as a boxing ring acts as a trigger in representing the preparation
for combat. The memory of what he used to be and of what he will become firmly
propels the dancer’s body onto the stage and puts emphasis on the
performer’s potential strategy. On this penalty area, this touchline, he assesses
the ground, he takes hold of the space, he sets out boundaries for this playground
with ambling feet and he reserves the right to change these boundaries according
to the way he develops. The stage becomes a field on which the dancer exhibits
an athletic performance.
Mastering the space, changing boundaries and giving birth to volume create
another dimension than that of Go On! The boxing ring lifts off from the stage,
undergoes a complete transformation, and eventually bends into a three-dimension
object which looks like a battlefield and lingers on in the mind of the audience,
giving the feeling ofan upside down scene.
