NATIONAL PREMIERE
Stray dogs, derailed pop icons, bucolic awakenings after a rave party – all emerge and vanish in a choreography of states that unfolds like a private, childlike game, made up of secret rules, sudden detours and constant transformations in a landscape where the everyday cracks open to the unexpected.
The dance unfolds amidst simple geometric forms, onomatopoeic sounds, noises, hummed tunes, fragments of gestures and brief appearances. Each element comes together and breaks apart without seeking a linear narrative, but following an intuitive, emotional logic capable of evoking ghosts, presences, unease and sudden epiphanies. The body becomes an archive of images, a place of resistance and play, traversed by contrasting impulses that oscillate between irony and melancholy, lightness and unease.
The encounter with the audience is thus constructed as a shared space of possibilities, in which what happens constantly eludes definition and defies expectations.

A mulatto, an albino
