How does the body transform itself, how does the emotion spring forth in the test of time? How does the group attempt, by means of rituals, to offer the conditions for the liberation of this natural power, by channelling its radiance into the furrows of a common knowledge?
In this piece, the choreographers explore a new approach and principles of choreographic writing. They approach the themes of joy and jubilation by showing the organic mechanisms and physical energies put to the test. The dance is like a rite of imaginary joy, like a trance where quiet presences are darting and pulsating. An escape from time.
