Artists Clédat & Petitpierre present a workshop exhibition in the form of a landscape-sculpture in which the moving body becomes the beating heart of the installation. This sensory space encourages metamorphosis, play and travel beyond dreams. Children become the privileged members of a multicoloured, proliferating microcosm: the Plantamouves. Get into the dance and become a Plantamouve! With the help of choreographic tutorials, the public is invited to move, dance and reinvent movements based on many wearable extensions of the body. Come together and play a role in this strange ballet with a constellation of hybrid characters where movement is used to feed and activate the wonderful world of Plantamouves.
Yvan Clédat and Coco Petitpierre are an intensely close artist couple who met in 1986. They are sculptors, performers, choreographers and authors of a multiform work, in which the body is always transformed and put in motion.
They invent "sculptures to activate", works they inhabit and bring to life in silent performances. Their choreographic and visual shows present dreamy and poetic worlds in which the bodies of the performers are transformed.
Alongside their shared practice, they collaborate with many directors and choreographers on the contemporary scene as scenographers and costume designers.
One of the key missions of the Centre Pompidou x West Bund Museum Project is to mirror and promote Chinese culture in the world, and bring culture from all around the globe to Chinese audiences as well, which is a new exploration of the cultural exchange between China and foreign cultures.
