“To all the fish who fled boredom and jumped out of the bowl.”<\/em> Skol has teamed up with Centre Est-Nord-Est to present Dancing in Paradise<\/em>, a bold new production by the French artist duo Sophie Dejode and Bertrand Lacombe. Dancing in Paradise<\/em> is a more complete sequel of Singing in Paradise<\/em>, organized in 2004 by Joyce Yahouda and shown on the 51\/2 floor of the Belgo.<\/p>\n Assisted by composer Merlin Ettore and choreographer Andrew Tay, the artists reappropriate the spectacular medium of musical comedy, leaving troubles and woes behind to produce something beautiful, light, dreamy. Set within an installation\/decor, the show will only be presented once, the night of the opening: a crack corps of rats perform a dance in the icy atmosphere of a giant fridge, an allegory representing a struggle against the refrigerate dreams of human beings anaesthetized by mass consumption and mass media. Subverting the ritual of art openings, the artists expose the art world\u2019s tacit complicity with the very system it presumes to criticize.<\/p>\n In this new ramification of Floating Land<\/em> \u2014 a nomad territory of encounter that evolves from one exhibition to the next, involving in their successive productions, an ever fluctuating community of participants \u2014 the \u201cmodern\u201d work of art is replaced by a setting that invites spectators to complete the project, to imagine its sequel, transforming visitor inertia into action, cynicism into enchantment. The decor will remain in place for the duration of the exhibition, allowing spectators to invest the space and to extend the work in unforeseeable ways.<\/p>\n This interdisciplinary project is part of Skol\u2019s 20th<\/sup> anniversary As If All Were Well<\/em> programming, which also celebrates artists\u2019 capacity to act locally, in a truly self-run project.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Running for Time \u2022 January 25, 7:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n flyerConcert<\/em> with Performances and music \u2022 January 26, 7:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n flyerAn Evening of Mind Kontrol<\/em> by David LaRivi\u00e8re (alias Mr. Kincaid) Concerts \u2022 January 27, 7:30pm flyerDa Oust Fiends<\/em> and his choral 3 Solos \u2022 February 2, 7:30pm flyeravec<\/em> BloodShot Bill \u2022 February 8, 8pm<\/strong><\/p>\n flyerRockabilly trash d\u00e9jant\u00e9<\/em> with special guest Show + Concert \u2022 February 9, 7:30pm flyer Dancing in Paradise<\/em> flyerBlandiloquentia<\/em> Floating Band 02 and more \u2022 February 10, 7:30pm flyeravec<\/em> + DJ Baguette January 12 \u2013 February 10, 2007
