VOLT - Nick Coutsier

Bozar, in partnership with Art Brussels, invites Belgian dancer and choreographer Nick Coutsier for a Film & Performance evening to mark the release of his first film, VOLT.
The evening will start with a performance that moves around and will bring the audience into the theatre to discover VOLT at its national premiere.
This will be followed by a selection of films linking cinema and performance (schedule to be confirmed).
This evening is part of a series of films on performance initiated at Bozar as part of PIT (Perform Inform Transform): a network of European partners whose project aims to support creation, dissemination and research around performance.

VOLT explores the physical language of a body in revolt. The protagonist resists the limitations imposed upon it — a relentless movement towards liberation. VOLT is the force that propels the body from survival to self-expression, where security and vulnerability merge in the vibrant power of a black, queer body, which through its movement and energy invites the surrounding bodies to their own emancipation.

Nick Coutsier is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the body as a space of resistance,vulnerability, and emancipation. Through movement, he examines the notions of Black fugitivity, queer identity, and freedom, connecting intimate experiences with broader cultural narratives. His work unfolds at the intersection of dance, film, and performance, as reflected in his project VOLT.
