En reconnaissance
En reconnaissance merges choreography and sound in a performance that creates a space to experiment with what separates, links and moves us. Giving room to what is present, to every thing that is present without establishing a hierarchy between what is considered human and non-human. En reconnaissance examines the matter and what animates it, and tries to make perceptible the links between the visible and the invisible.
In this new creation, Gaëtan Rusquet seeks to question the way we situate ourselves in relation to the other, to the group and our milieu. En reconnaissance is an attempt to ritualise our desires for connection and detachment. It investigates our dynamics of participation and rejection by proposing a space where the political and the intimate meet.

Gaëtan Rusquet
1984, lives and works in Brussels.
After studying Applied Arts in Paris at L’ENSAAMA, Gaëtan Rusquet obtained a Masters degree in stage design and performance at l’ENSAV La Cambre. He works as an artist and performer in the field of performance, dance, theater and visual arts. Recently, he performed in Celestial Sorrow of Meg Stuart, Square Dance of Bryan Campbell and created the costumes and scenography for Boundary Games of Léa Drouet.
In his artistic proposals, Rusquet focuses on the relation between the body and the space, by using a medium and the necessity of a movement linked to this. In his work, he wants to share a visual and a performative experience with the audience. In Meanwhile, (2014) the performers struggle against the disintegration of the construction they build, while As We Were Moving Ahead Occasionally We Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty (2018) explores the choreographic potential of (live) video editing and the perspective of the selfie. the eYe in the light in the eYe (2020), commissioned by Europalia, echoes the photographic practice of Brancusi by making images appear and disappear in the eyes of the viewers, who become the medium themselves. Currently, he is working on his research the edge, in which he explores ways of dealing with the body and liminal spaces.
His work has been presented at Trouble Festival (BE), Impulstanz (AT), MDT Stockholm (SE), Centre Pompidou (FR), Theater Avantgarden (NO), Accionmad (ES), FRAC Lorraine (FR), Kaaitheater (BE), Palais de Tokyo (FR), Homonovus festival (LV), Festival Actoral (FR), Europalia (BE).
