The 72 593th<\/sup><\/em> Part of the world<\/em><\/h1>\n

Commissioned within the framework of the inter-parks cooperation project Paysage Industriel<\/em> (Industrial Landscape): Monts d\u2019Ard\u00e8che, Lorraine, Pilat, Vercors<\/p>\n

The 72 593th<\/sup><\/em> Part of the world<\/em><\/p>\n

Traditional crafts hold an important place in Royans-Vercors\u2019 history. The production of wooden tableware especially, boomed during the second half of the XXth century, with some fifty companies employing more than six hundred workers. Today only four workshops are in operation. The work requested here must draw on the threads of the past to think of the future and account for the territory\u2019s plural realities.<\/p>\n

Straight away, Michel Aubry chooses to decompartmentalize his subject and associate the Vercors project with the one taking place in parallel at the Pilat park. His research is based on three works that evoke the industrial landscape and the relationship with natural resources: Paysage avec travaux de la mine<\/em> (1544) (Landscape with mine work) by Herri met de Bles, Le Feu<\/em> (1606) (The Fire) by Jan Breughel the Elder and La Sixi\u00e8me Partie du monde<\/em> (1927) (A 6th<\/sup> Part of the World) by filmmaker Dziga Vertov.<\/p>\n

Michel Aubry\u2019s proposal for the Vercors park is inspired by a sequence from La Sixi\u00e8me Partie du monde<\/em> showing a Siberian shaman who dances \u201cin a costume laden with symbolic objects, both protection and a conductive jacket linked to natural elements.\u201d He rethinks the shaman\u2019s costume and associates it with the sound tubes designed in the turnery tradition. \u201cLike the shaman, sound connects elements coming from the forest to material objects.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the 27th September 2014, Marianne Baillot initiated the work with a choreographic performance.<\/p>\n

Today The 72 593th<\/sup> Part of the World<\/em> is part of the Conservation of the Dr\u00f4me Department collection and is on permanent display in the municipal council room of Saint-Jean-en-Royans. Other variations of the dance are scheduled for the Vercors region.
