“The perception off” is a subtle conversation between the dance of Eva Klimackova, the regard of the visual artist Laurent Goldring and two poems of Ghérasim Luca (avant-garde poet of Romanian origin and French expression). During this conversation an enigmatic liaison is created between gestures and words, between concrete and abstract, serious and absurd, between appearance, disappearance and disfigurations. The body abandon itself to the unusual relation with the disturbing and torrid language of Luca; who folds, twists, extends and spirals the sentences trying to resound with the plasticity of words, through a minimalism deepening the poetic image. To feel, to move, to perceive, to say becomes suddenly the operations to discover the infinite strangeness of human being. The deformed and strange beauty of the movement is perfectly resonant with the way that Ghérasim Luca research, sculpt and cut the French language making it other.
