Topologie deals with the unities of space, time and action that make up a
performance. By creating a stage the size of a geographic area and by
adapting the length of the performance to that of a process in a state of
creation, the disassociated unity becomes a part of the public space,
using the daily routine of the city and the social relations that take
place there. The process takes place using immersion within the chosen social context. All accessible areas of activity are potentially taken into account by the dancers (stores, public facilities, means of transportation,…).

Statement:

In a given space (the point of reference), the Topologie graph is
exhibited, displayed over a map of the location where the project takes
place.
Along with the graph there is a sound system that plays the soundtrack
that accompanies the construction and execution of the "choreography".
The audio piece is played over a free radio frequency usually broadcast in
the area.
For several days the performers leave their home and go out into the
public space, following an individual itinerary determined by the graph.
Each time they go out, they enter progressively into the organisation and
increasingly fastidious replica of their simple acts: gestures and
physical, social behaviour, the speed of their movements, etc.)
The structure of the graph brings them together at certain specific places
at precise times.
Each trip out ends with the performers returning home.
