"Beware of the sleeping waters"

Danseurs accroupis dans une quasi obscurité

Contemporary dance performance by the Yvann Alexandre Company. Auditorium. Friday, March 3rd at 7pm.

Created in 1993, the Yvann Alexandre Company is a professional contemporary dance company from the Pays de la Loire region.

Attached since its beginnings to the back and forth between professionals, amateurs and the public, the company develops its creations as much for the stage as for non-dedicated places, and weaves an ambitious policy of exchanges, meeting and transmission.

From the beginning, Yvann Alexandre's creative engines have stemmed from the human encounter. He starts his processes with transmission, to then move on to the writing of a work.

With this creation, whose sound design is inspired by the MEG's International Archives of Folk Music (IAFM), the choreographer Yvann Alexandre imagines a distant Lake of "signs", a territory of ambiguities that evokes notions of confinement and liberation. In a light and dark atmosphere populated by sounds evoking the density of an Amazon forest, bodies allow themselves to be crossed by river states. As if carried away by the current, each of the performers defends the vision of a work of resistance and resilience. It is the urgent desire for skin that makes law, the crossbow that crosses and stuns. And the echo of a Lake in the flesh.
