In an experiment to challenge our versatility, them as performers and me as a choreographer, I sought dancers with different backgrounds from Ballet to contemporary dance.
In order to find what made them unique, We explored where we came from and where we could meet. Working with the extra challenges of distance and of being in a small space.

I have always been fascinated by the univers and how its continuous expansion reminds us that nothing is still.

What is loud and fragile
And then slow and agile
Behind my brain still grows
Where serenity sows
So now it makes me numb
I, deaf and blind and dumb
For when no sound makes
The heart in madness aches.

Wrinkly teary-eyed animal
Alone in a cage of goodbye
A thunder storm inside the mind
For some silence, for some a sigh.

What makes us free isn’t the ability to do whatever we like but to be regarded and accepted for who we really are. This piece talks about the stifling feeling humans can inflict on each other, and their mind games.
My thoughts are on your pillow
Suffocating is the memory
My eyes can’t picture a widow
That keep singing other melodies
Not too long the pleasure
Brought too soon the pain
Now it grows the pressure
And don’t know If it was in vain
Much too cool the presence
Much too cruel the hands
Much too strong the gesture
Here’s where my soul lands.
