I was so engrossed in the performance at New Zero Art Space today
that I even felt that I want to shout out loud. I was suffocated like I
was back to the solitary cell for 28 days at interrogation center in
prison. Each time after shouting "Doe A Yae", Burmese Artist Thyitar
covered her face with a rubber band. Meanwhile Belgium Artist said "Our
Rights", and she also covered her with rubber bands. While they were
taking turns to do so, I was praying that rubber bands are used up
faster. When I realized myself, I already got teary-eyed. I had to seal
my mouth tightly to not cry out. Also when they cut rubber bands from
each other's faces, I wanted them to do it quickly to loosen tighten
areas on their faces. I recorded this performance because it touched me
so. Thanks to Aye Ko and Madam Aye Ko for inviting me to the event. Kyi Khin Min Zaw
This performance was created by Béatrice Didier in collaboration with Thyitar.
In the context of the
project Performance Art y Resiliencia, conceived by Elvira Santamaria, hosted by New Zero Art Space.
Born in 1971 in Belgium, the first human and artistic encounter which makes a deep impression on Béatrice is the encounter with Pierre Vincke during an actor's training (méthode Grotowski) in 1987.
From 1988 to 1994, she studies theatre at Conservatoire de Bruxelles and after this she continues to follows regularly workshops about body, voice, acting,.... She starts to act for some contemporary theatre companies and teaches within the teaching staff of the Humanities Theatre in Louvain la Neuve until 2000. There she meets M.Richelle and V.Mabardi with who she starts, within the framework of the company « Ricochets » ( Rebounds ), a research on the creative part of the actor. In 2006, this research brings her to create a scenic project from her first journey in India: « Vanakkam ». For Béatrice, this marks a step to develop her personnal artistic project.
During the same period, she meets Monica Klingler and Boris Nieslony and by them she discovers Performance Art and naturally decides to walk on this artistic way.
