”Corpo de Baile-Lord Palace Hotel”  (2004) is a documentary by Arnold Pasquier on the danced action of the group of Brazilian performers Corpo de Baile. It was produced at the “Lord Palace Hotel”, São Paulo, Brazil, on November 7th, 2004.  

Remark by Arnold Pasquier in 2019 :  

"In  2004, I went to São Paulo, Brazil, for five months, as part of a “Villa  Medicis Hors-les-murs” residency to make the film “Celui qui aime a raison”.  There, I met those who would become the actors in the film, including Marcos Gallon, dancer and choreographer Out of interest for his work and to sustain a relationship based on exchange, I suggested to film and edit a recording of the show he proposed in an abandoned hotel in the centre of São Paulo. This would be one of the last productions by this choreographer, who, the following year, entered the service of the contemporary art gallery Galeria Vermelho, where he has since managed the renowned VERBO  performance festival."  

Arnold Pasquier was born in Paris in 1968. After studying visual arts and cinema, he made tests in Super 8 and video, in which he developed a world of filmed newspapers and fictions. At the age of twenty, he approaches contemporary dance and collaborates with choreographers as documentarist and dancer. This experience marks the realization of a work where dance holds an important place.
From 1997 to 1999, he was received as a resident artist at the Fresnoy (Tourcoing, France) where he designed the installation "C'est ici que j'avais des baisers" (1997-1999) and produced about twenty short films, four radio design workshops For France Culture and dance performances capturing. In 1999, he presented the show "C'est merveilleux" in the Grande Nef du Fresnoy. He is the author of numerous films (fiction, documentary, video art), staged shows, scenographies, radio broadcasts. His work is articulated at the crossroads of these different disciplines. Winner of a residence Villa Médicis Hors les Murs (outside the wall) in Sao Paulo in 2004, he dances for Julie Desprairies in "La danse en accès accès", "Vue sur la mer" and "Là commence le ciel". He co-signs with her the video-dance installation "Les 3 contents", the result of the residence of the choreographer at the Manufacture de Sèvres (France).
