Faire un four is an expression from the XVII century theatre world which means 'to suffer a defeat'. Literally it is 'to make an oven' but it almost sounds like 'to make a four' hence 'a quartet'. How do we recognize something as something? Anybody as somebody? "Faire un four" departs from four people and their dances. It is not interested in individualism but in reworking the 4 as a multiple space layering ways of doing things with dance, after a long practice of interpreting, altering, adapting each other’s movements. Four solos (prologue) generate the base for each evening while the actual piece constructs a scenic architecture for performers and spectators to process what they perceive, since to perceive resemblance is to make it happen. "Faire un four" produces a physical and verbal collection in which the productivity of recognition as well as the opacity of things are questioned, confused and challenged.
