Konkordanz (Patrick Faurot)

Patrick Faurot is an American choreographer, director, and pluri-disciplinary performance artist based in Berlin. His productions since 2014 have been focused on a research into experimental opera, combining elements of contemporary dance theater with classical and new music, including un(_)requite(_)d (2014) and Vvedensky Train (2015), both shown at the Acker Stadt Palast. Simultaneously, Faurot has been exploring a solo performance format, based on the works of painter Francis Bacon and Gilles Deleuze’s well-known analysis Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation. In works such as Diastole-Systole (2013), Immolation (2015), and Konkordanz (2015), Faurot seeks to create a compositional frame in which the constrained body acts as a canvas upon which “invisible forces are rendered visible.”
