In her first piece, which won the Label Passerelle award, Mellina Boubetra has chosen to hold a conversation between three female personalities from different backgrounds ranging from hip hop to contemporary. Together the three dancers take an introspective approach, exploring the link between bodily states and the expression of feelings. This deep dive into the intimate realm generates a singular form of unison that helps us understand the complexity of each dancer’s movements.
Intro is programmed as part of the Plateforme 2023.
