Recording the light

Sophie Whettnall
26/03/2022
  • Duur: De 8h à 14h
  • Location : Liège Guillemins

With her piece Recording the light, Sophie Whettnall follows the shadows of a particular architectural structure. Her main material is light and its effects, which are as elusive as they are enticing. The piece will take place on the Esplanade of the Guillemins train station, where the famous peak will be redesigned by a dozen street dancers from Liège. On a sunny day, they will follow and mark the shadows cast by the sun with adhesive tape, as well as its reflections on the metallic structure of the train station. This will reveal a precise pattern that corresponds to the movement of shadows during the day. This poetic approach to architecture and the passing of time seeks what is elusive and makes the invisible visible!

Il y a tout juste 175 ans, Bruxelles et Paris ont été les premières capitales du continent européen à être reliées par le train. Le TGV a été inauguré il y a 40 ans et le Thalys fête son 25e anniversaire. À l’origine symbole d’accélération de la société et d’industrialisation, le train aujourd’hui répond davantage à une envie de ralentir et de voyager de manière plus durable. EUROPALIA s’intéresse à cette invention constituant une intarissable source d’inspiration pour les arts. Le Théâtre de Liège et EUROPALIA Train and Tracks vous y proposent quatre rendez-vous.
