Mackenzy Bergile: Habiter la fracture |   |  2026



Selected excerpts



Original

« La danse, la musique, l’écriture, la mode et les arts visuels se répondent jusqu’à devenir indissociables. Pour lui, les disciplines n’ont jamais vécu séparées, elles composent un même territoire de recherche et un même geste de compréhension du monde. »

« Ce qui donne au spectacle cette qualité d’objet multiple, difficile à enfermer dans une catégorie unique, une œuvre qui emprunte autant à la performance qu’à la danse, au concert, à l’installation plastique ou au défilé de mode. »

English

"Dance, music, writing, fashion and the visual arts respond to one another until they become inseparable. For him, these disciplines have never existed apart; together they form a single territory of research and a unified gesture for understanding the world."


"This gives the work the quality of a multifaceted object, resistant to any single category, drawing equally from performance, dance, concert, visual installation and fashion show."


Critical abstract

This feature presents Mackenzy Bergile as a multidisciplinary artist whose practice transforms personal, historical, and diasporic fractures into a coherent artistic language. Dance, music, poetry, fashion, and visual art are approached not as separate disciplines but as interconnected forms of research. The article underlines Bergile's refusal of fixed cultural binaries, instead portraying his work as a continuous negotiation between multiple inheritances. Autotherapie emerges as the expression of a broader artistic practice grounded in transmission, memory, and the construction of new cultural narratives.
