Performance « Rituel de la Mare : Geste, Gratitude et Symbiose »
It is not a performance. It is a gesture.
A gesture that follows in the footsteps of Christian Dotremont's logograms, where writing becomes painting and the body becomes a brush. Here, the gesture is not calligraphied in ink, but traced with the humble and ephemeral material of coffee grounds. It is an act of poetry and resilience, a quiet affirmation in the face of the noise of the world.
Artist Caliban Ramirez proposes a ritual of sharing. At a time when creation is often subject to the imperative of monetisation, this performance chooses a different path. It aims to be a tool for disalienation, an act of love and communion offered without compensation.
At the heart of this ritual lies the expression of radical gratitude, a force that the artist identifies as the soul of social meaning. It is through giving, through sharing the gesture and the material, that true value is woven.
The performance ‘Rituel de la Mare’ invites the audience to a metamorphosis of perception. From the simple trace left by the daily beverage comes an invitation to a symbiosis of peace. It is about listening together to a primordial and sensory language, where the creative gesture and the shared gaze become one.
Caliban Ramirez does not present a work, but offers a space-time. A suspended moment to remind us that art is above all an act of connection, a territory of communion where we can, in the space of a gesture, rediscover our common humanity.
