Idéographie

In Ideography, Noé Soulier unites his fascination for dance, philosophy and music. Composing disparate theoretical argumentations through the use of choreographic, musical or cinematic tools, he engages the audience in an active thought experiment structured around various perspectives on a single event. Far from defending a thesis, the resulting polyphony of thoughts and actions joins thinking and acting in one fundamental dynamic. This makes Ideography an opportunity to revisit classical philosophical discourse through the live experience of a construction in progress.
