"The third prize goes to Celine Bellut from Cologne, that changes abruptly from a turning dizziness triggering the audience to minimal movement patters. The jury praises the Frenchwoman for her independent dance language and the break with expectations". (translated from German) Dimo Riess - LVZ Kulturredaktion

At the heart of this video installation live performance, Céline Bellut engages in a series of mechanical and technical rotations, executed at a dizzying speed, synchronized with the frantic rhythm of punk music from the former Yugoslavia. She immerses herself in whirling movements, exploring the mechanization of the body in opposition to the spontaneity of the music. The performance questions and critiques the idea of bodily perfectionism, a concept deeply rooted in her journey as a dancer and omnipresent in contemporary society.
By integrating video capture, she deliberately highlights the contrast between the pursuit of perfect choreography and her own humanity, marked by imperfection. The filmed sequences reveal her mistakes and fluctuations to the audience, creating a poignant reflection on the societal pressure to achieve physical perfection. This solo becomes a bold statement in favor of embracing failure and imperfection, challenging rigid norms of physical perfectionism while celebrating the beauty of striving toward it.
