“Corps Archivés" (Archived bodies) is a project in residency in Alkantara proposed by the French artist based in Lisbon Claire Buisson. The project is about the construction of the self explored through posture and a multiplicity of resources. It is a project for one performer with several resources . Archive images of German dancers from the 20’s, women from the 20’s, revisiting relational objects from Lygia Clark, black american music from the 60’s, texts, voice(s) are part of the research that will take place in Lisbon between 16th november and 15th december. The project frontally addresses the issue of constructing the self. Which are the social and body conditions in one's construction? How does the subject position itself in a process of self-determination?
