idée de quatuor

Dance – Music – Painting

Dance: Christine Brunel and Eric Senen (†)
Music: Kunsu Shim
Painting: Dagmar Schenk-Güllich

An encounter between...
a female dancer
a musician
a painter
a male dancer

An encounter which ...
looks for friction, argument
explores the possibilities of being together
investigates individual artistic positions

An encounter which ...
respects and preserves every art form's independence
is marked by equality and respect

idée de quatuor was created on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Christine Brunel Dance Theatre in co-operation with the L et S company (Paris) and EarPort (Duisburg).

The press wrotes:

Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, 29. Oktober 2005
Mirror of the soul
The performance idée de quatuor came across associatively and atmospherically. Christine Brunel and Eric Senen dance in black clothes, accompanied by the soft and sometimes hard music of Kunsu Shim, surrounded by the paintings of Dagmar Schenk-Güllich. Sometimes it seems as if the dancers were rising from here paintings.
