FRAMES - Alexander Vantournhout

Når kroppe sprænger rammen – et svimlende møde mellem nycirkus og landskab
Sublime performere. Forskudte synsvinkler. Og en koreografi hinsides tyngdekraft og fantasi.
Den mesterlige nycirkus-kunstner Alexander Vantournhout vender tilbage til København med en landskabsforestilling – et drømmesyn, der vrider perspektiver af led og udfordrer kunstens rammer. Helt bogstaveligt.
FRAMES er dragende bevægelseskunst i sin reneste form. Med minutiøs præcision bygger de fire performere forunderlige kropsskulpturer, der toner frem som kollektive synsbedrag. Set forfra, bagfra eller nedefra forandrer billederne sig igen og igen.
Fem meter over vores hoveder dukker arme, ben og torsoer frem på en baggrund af himmel og drivende skyer – som i et surrealistisk Magritte-maleri.
En monumental gitterramme bliver et vindue til verden omkring os. Kroppene hænger, klatrer og fletter sig ind i rammen som elementer i et obskurt landskabsmaleri i bevægelse.
Og en piedestal forvandler kroppene til levende skulpturer i evig søgen efter en skrøbelig, fælles balance.
Men rammer er til for at blive brudt. Dimensionerne sprænges, når kroppene bevæger sig ud af beskæringerne og slipper begrænsningerne. Maleriet træder ud af rammen og bliver til kropslig poesi i landskabet. En invitation til at se verden – og hinanden – fra nye vinkler.

When bodies break the frame – a dizzying encounter between contemporary circus and landscape
Sublime performers. Shifting perspectives. And a choreography that defies gravity and imagination.
Masterful circus artist Alexander Vantournhout returns to Copenhagen with a landscape performance – a dreamlike vision that twists perspective out of shape and challenges the very notion of artistic framing. Quite literally.
FRAMES is movement art at its purest and most captivating. With meticulous precision, four performers construct astonishing bodily sculptures that emerge as collective optical illusions. Seen from the front, the back or below, the images transform again and again.
Five metres above our heads, arms, legs and torsos appear against a backdrop of sky and drifting clouds – like figures from a surrealist painting by Magritte.
A monumental steel frame becomes a window onto the surrounding world. Bodies hang, climb and intertwine within its structure, forming an enigmatic landscape painting in motion.
Elsewhere, a pedestal transforms the performers into living sculptures, endlessly searching for a fragile, shared balance.
But frames are made to be broken. As the bodies move beyond the boundaries of the structure, the dimensions expand and the limitations dissolve. The picture steps out of its frame, becoming embodied poetry in the landscape – an invitation to see the world, and each other, from new perspectives.
