RESISTANCE +
+
The choreography Resistance draws its inspiration from local myths and folklore, questioning the legacy they leave in their wake. Through a language mixing strength and fluidity, the four performers enter the stage. They seem to want to perform a ritual, trying to get rid of a never-ending meanness. Thus they abandon themselves, metamorphose, provoke and stimulate each other relentlessly, in search of an exaltation, an emancipation. A film version is also available.
Resistance + offers a series of short pieces:
Prototype
Two beings in a fragmented, even dystopian environment, put their bodies to the test with raw, sensitive and vibrant movements. Are they lost souls, survivors, machines, explorers? Little by little, they abandon the layers of fabric that cover them, leaving a trace of the bond that unites them, of the past that has passed through them, wishing to leave a legacy to those who will eventually travel the same path.
Decoherence
DECOHERENCE developed from an interest in quantum entanglement, a scientific theory concerning interconnectivity at the atomic level. Decoherence proves that we all exist in reference to each other. This piece expresses the love for the laws of physics, which unites us and shows all facets and complexities of human connection.
Sololiquy
A soliloquy is a monologue addressed to oneself, the expression of one's thoughts out loud. During the piece, the performer navigates through his own ruminations, confronting his emotions, his doubts and his worries. The pessimistic, almost fatalistic tone of the piece is contrasted by the joy and sincerity that the artist brings, aiming to stimulate the imagination and question its propensity for denial.
Dialogue
Inner narrative, obsessive thoughts, loss of control, helplessness, abandonment. How do the conversations we have with ourselves affect the way we think? To live? How do conversations with others help or hinder our growth? How do we get out of our heads and into our bodies?
