Arts Centre Vooruit, Ghent, Belgium

Gaetan Bulourde has clearly been inspired by Marcel Duchamp. ‘Already Made’, the name of his new show, is a direct reference to the French artist who placed found objects (“ready mades”) on a pedestal and thereby questioned art. But Bulourde doesn’t use urinals or bicycle wheels like Duchamp. Instead, he uses chairs, stools, beer crates, etc. Bulourde says that ‘Already Made’ is musical and physical, visual, eccentric, dada and gaga.

Bulourde studied maths and used to play music, but ended up on the dance scene when a choreographer noticed him at a party. He has worked with choreographers such as Meg Stuart and Thomas Lehmen, while also creating his own shows. In ‘Already Made’, he will perform together with Antonia Baehr (‘Lachen’, ‘For Faces’) and Valérie Castan.
