PURE

A presentation of workspacebrussels
In the frame of Working Title Festival

In PURE Christian Bakalov creates a dreamy universe on the border between visual art and performance. As a spectator you are invited to a journey that appeals to all the senses and that in a subtle way creates interactions between audience, performers and environment. PURE is the second part of the trilogy ETERNIA, in which Bakalov uses Spinoza's concept of infinity to explore themes such as life and death.

CHRISTIAN BAKALOV studied ballet at the Opera of Sofia and started his dance career in France with the Ballet of France and the CCNN of Nantes. Since 2009 he has lived and worked in Brussels. He has been seen as a performer in the work of Ivo Dimchev, Jan Fabre, Miet Warlop and Jérôme Bel, among others. In 2014 he created his first immersive installation BRIGHT, in which the audience plays the most important role. In his work he explores the boundaries between installation and performative action and develops immersive methods that bring the audience into a parallel world.
