Who are we, trapped in a bird’s body without the possibility of flight? With this new creation, choreographer Yvann Alexandre imagines a distant Swan Lake, more of a Lake of Signs, a territory of ambiguities that summons the notions of confinement and emancipation. In a chiaroscuro atmosphere populated by sounds that evoke the density of an Amazon forest, bodies allow themselves to be crossed by river states. As if carried away by the current, each performer comes to defend the vision of a work of resistance and resilience. It is the urgent desire for skin that rules, the crossbow that pierces and astounds. And the echo of a Lake in the flesh.
