LAFAYETTE ANTICIPATIONS

Dancers
Marie-Agnès Gillot
Dimitri Chamblas
Mutant Stage 8
Between the outstretched arms of a basket crane, Marie-Agnès Gillot and Dimitri Chamblas dance gently in front of Xavier Veilhan’s low-tech camera in the 9 rue du Plâtre construction site, still void of its future glass tower.
Exclusively filmed on the site’s patio, this eighth episode of the Mutant Stage series sets free from the piece’s original choreography, this time revealing itself through a low definition image and crystal-clear music composed by Jonathan Fitoussi.

Music for Xavier Veilhan
After numerous collaborations with Xavier Veilhan, notably his participation in Studio Venezia in 2017, French musician and composer Jonathan Fitoussi pays tribute to this artistic partnership with a new EP titled « Music for Xavier Veilhan ».
The album contains two compositions: « Rayons » illustrates the monumental installation by the same name in Sarus in the south of France and « Silences » that the musician composed for Mutant Stage 8, a film by X. Veilhan with Marie-Agnès Gillot and Dimitri Chamblas for Lafayette Anticipations.
Laser-engraved on the B-side of the vinyl is Volume, an original drawing by Xavier Veilhan.
