Designed as a cartography of dances for different and perhaps abandoned spaces: a forest, a garden, a concrete courtyard, a desert, a wild field, but also a museum or a waiting room. The cartographies of Echoes enter into a dialogue with the space that hosts them, so much so that they become an intimate activity, an ability of the bodies to come into contact with the landscape, a kinetic system that plays poetically with the anatomy of forms and the beauty of measurement.

The work involves five dancing bodies that seamlessly design and compose a choreography built on repetitions and differences, moments of solitude as well as choral scores with simple and linear body themes, musically sustained by loops and very long slowdowns generated by the melodic pop sound of R&B star Frank Ocean.

The image composition includes a live streaming dimension activated live by the dancers themselves, an internal point of view that brings bodies and tactile detail closer to the eye and skin, revealing the digital’s potential ability to deposit affective particles. Anyone can see this virtual part of moving images through their phone during the live performance, in another place or at a later time. Echoes expresses the simultaneously light and radical tension of a political choreo embodied in the thought of bodies.
