Convoi Exceptionnel has this autumn started researching for a new performance: Per sempre quattro tempori. The work has been produced at places such as Amsterdam and Athens and now in Copenhagen, at HAUT, where the group will deveop the visual part of the concept.

Nature and art are companions. Nature is represented and reproduced over and over again in music, in literature, in the visual arts and in film. For Convoi Exceptionnel, performing arts are a spatial art form -- and like landscapes, it's made up of time. Acts and sequences act as seasons, light and dark indicate beginnings and endings, night and day.

But how is nature represented in the performing arts? How can it be present on stage? Can it be represented without imitation? Is it possible to visualize a terrain without picking up several tons of rock inside? Can a landscape be represented choreographically? Many questions and challenges arise when nature enters the scene. What does it require and what dramaturgy and conceptual approach legitimize such a project in 2017/1018? What is the opposite of nature? These are some of the main themes in the development of the performance “For ever four seasons”.
