Marie Chien Noir
Jun 30, 1982
Description:
This video production is a triptych of performance works Marie Chouinard: Mimas, Lune de Saturne (1980); Plaisirs de Tous Les Sens dans Tous les Sens (1981); and Marie Chien Noir (1982). Unfolding on a black dance floor, Chouinard performs a variety of gestures over the forty-three-minute video: she dances with a skeleton, bobs for a green pepper in a bucket of water, masterbates, dons an oversized wolf mask, and reads from a giant picture book.Marie Chien Noir was shot and edited by Michael Brodie. The work was performed live on May 16, 1982 at the Firehall Theatre as part of Western Front’s Independent Choreographer Series.
Video documentation available upon request.
