I’m Sorry It’s (Not) A Story / Info
Charlotte Vanden Eynde started this solopiece as a confrontation with herself, armed with pen and paper, a videocamera and an empty space. She tried to write down her thoughts, to talk to the camera that was recording her and to find a motivation to dance.
In her previous performances Vanden Eynde often worked with objects and video in such a way that she was flirting with fine arts. In I'm Sorry It’s (Not) A Story she wants to express her associative language of images with pure movement and dance. She is looking for the image and poetry in movement. Vanden Eynde performs on the balance between theatricality and abstraction. She experiments with meaning and emotion, but keeps the viewer guessing after what he is supposed to see. I’m Sorry It’s (Not) A Story asks for a personal interpretation of its audience. Whoever expects to be able to discover a story will get into trouble. But whoever refuses to see a story will be disappointed as well. I’m Sorry It’s (Not) A Story is exactly that, a story that is not a story, yet is a story… for those who want it to be.
