“What if a groundswell of optimism had already set in motion?

This piece is conceived as an attempt to revive an optimism that is running out of steam. By sounding out the younger generation, entrusting them with the task of defining their sources of inspiration, it seeks to thwart the apparent adversity of our tomorrows. Like the opening of a time capsule carefully composed throughout the creation process, the sharing of heterogeneous references gathered from young people in training serves as a stimulating artifact for choreographic writing.

 

The idea of measuring the scope of the displacement that trust in others implies is also reflected in each performance, which sees the opportunity to invite an up-and-coming choreographer to graft on an original impromptu. Under the impetus of these stimulating transplants, the score of dance motifs, in the manner of “combine painting”, takes hold of this collection of iconographic and sound fragments, like so many omens of the possible hues of what the future holds in store for us.
