Marriage à la Mode et Cor Anglais is a performance by Jimmy Robert (FR) and Ian White (GB) that explores a boundary between the still image and movement via repetition, artificiality, posing and mortality. Choreographed for the theatre, it combines text, music and image into a language of stylized actions. Robert and White’s previous performance at Tate Britain translated the act of spending time together into a unique work that incorporated a performance of Yvonne Rainer’s seminal 1966 dance Trio A. This new production constructs a more paradoxical immediate present through a grid of cultural and social references. It will also be performed at De Appel in Amsterdam.
