PIT presents: Némo Flouret's performance "900 Satellites"

On Friday, September 4, at 8 PM, the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC) invites you to Némo Flouret's performance "900 Satellites," which will take place in the CAC car park (entrance at the corner of Dysnos and Mėsinių streets). This event marks the launch of the public program in Lithuania for the international project "Perform Inform Transform – Participatory Performance in Art Museums" (PIT), dedicated to increasing the recognition and dissemination of performance art. Over the course of this and next year, five artists' performances are planned to be presented in Lithuania. "Némo Flouret's "900 Satellites" is a site-specific dance performance, conceived as a continuation of the collective work "900 Something Days Spent in the XXth Century." Created in 2021, "900 Something Days" draws inspiration from Aurélien Bellanger's novel "Eurodance" – a philosophical manifesto written in 2018, which presents 1990s club culture as the last pan-European and unifying cultural movement, embodying European ideals of peace and freedom of movement. At the heart of the work is the turn of the century, when the vision of a borderless Europe took material form in large-scale urban architecture. Bellanger reveals how, as club culture weakened, Euro-optimism gradually faded, leaving only urban infrastructure from the original ideal, functioning as a cog in a continental industrial machine. Flouret's choreography reactivates these spaces. It is a "highway dance for industrial ruins," where the accelerating choreographic score and the collective movement of dancers become both a bodily expression of these conditions and a form of collective resistance to them. "900 Satellites" continues Flouret's choreographic and conceptual experiment, while adapting it to an open-structure format. Created collectively with a group of dancers, the work adopts the movements of its predecessor and adapts them to the specific performance location and audience, thus opening up countless possible variations of the piece. Participating in the PIT program, Némo Flouret transformed Bozar's Horta Hall and Triennale Milano Teatro's Central Hall into spaces of choreographic movement, and now the work is presented in the Contemporary Art Centre's car park. Vilnius is the closest location to Europe's eastern border where "900 Satellites" has been shown to date. The car park, in a sense, brings the work back to its origins – a space next to an industrial building, for which it was originally created. Yet, this space also sharply contrasts with today's reality – what it truly means to move across Europe." – Aistė Liuka Jonynaitė Location: CAC car park (entrance at the corner of Dysnos and Mėsinių streets)
