Xavier Veilhan & Stephen Thompson - Compulsory Figures
ARTER | VIVANTO is co-producing Compulsory Figures with Lebeau & Associés and Atelier Xavier Veilhan.
On the ice, the dancer and skater Stephen Thompson revives this former Olympic discipline. Like an archaeologist of movement, he breathes new life into the very technical, precise “imposed figures” that consisted of repeatedly scratching the same circular form into the ice.
Over the course of the performance, these tableaux come to life to orchestrate a complete experience at the heart of movement.
ARTER produces exhibitions and major artistic events for cultural institutions, local authorities and major luxury brands.
ARTER is a European agency with an international reach, promoting responsible, resilient culture with impact. A pioneer in the art production, the agency has been helping artists and players in the arts and culture sector to realize their projects for the past 20 years.
