Captivated and overwhelmed by the work of painter Pierre Soulages, master of the color black, the choreographer invited eight performers - 4 female dancers and 4 male dancers - to tame the darkness and bring out the light. Bodies appear, reflect and play with lines and rhythm. A celebration of life in a freedom of expression that is both dazzling and poetic. Little by little, bodies are revealed, vibrations and reflections interact with movements. Body parts and fleeting silhouettes emerge from a shadow theater. Light gains ground, and the choreography becomes a moving tableau, a game of chiaroscuro. Until the final, triumphant burst, the final apotheosis.
As this show is inspired by the work of painter Pierre Soulages, we invite you to come dressed all in black or all in white? Play along, it's going to be beautiful in the auditorium!
