DES CAILLOUX SOUS LA PEAU

​

Dance materialised and material that dances...

​

Inspired by the work of Etienne-Jules Marey on mouvements in air.

Des cailloux sous la peau is the journey of a strange traveller crossing mysterious lands, hypnotic lands, but lands also dotted with unexpected smiles. He meets characters who dance with  sand, with smoke, light, visual images and sounds; in a choreography where they themselves sometimes take second place.

The vibrations and the suspensions which result from this mix give rise to alternative worlds, alternative visions which confront reality. At the heart of this meeting between bodies and the material world, a choreography is created which is touched with wonder.

This production also exists in the form of an « ambulatory performance », the organization and duration of which are fixed in concertation with the hosts. The spectators proceed through an interior or exterior environment rendered strange by unusual manifestations. They stop a while to observe sand flowing, visual images taking flight, people dancing.
