As someone who was born abroad and now lives in France, I pay particular attention to the idea of belonging to a place, to a human group. Here in France, I am very intrigued by the absence of symbols shared by all, because I know that as social creatures, we have a basic need to gather around symbols. Do they still exist? Is it possible to reinvent them?

In this piece I aim to create, with the five dancers in my company, something that unites us in a given space, on our scale, starting from each individual’s unique aspects. The process interweaves two converging dynamics: sound, whose source is in the collective memory; and choreography, based on a search for movement around the body and the line, which I view as an archaic form.
