Dalila Belaza presents a solo in which she continues to explore her relationship with traditional dances, but takes a very different approach than in her previous piece, Au coeur, in which she staged a dialogue between folk dance and contemporary dance. In Figures, she “is searching for the intimate, mysterious and unchanging narrative that lies dormant within us – what speaks in an essential way about being and is able to bring us together. To do this, I’m creating the conditions that make it possible to open up and explore intimacy, as if to extract from it a reinvented human history”.
Figures is programmed as part of the Plateforme 2023.
