– Adaptability: The performance can be modified to seamlessly integrate into various settings, whether they are historical monuments, modern architectures, or natural spaces. This flexibility allows for the enhancement of heritage and the creation of a dialogue between dance and the environment.

A contemporary ritual, primarily dedicated to outdoor public spaces and/or stages with a 360° audience, where bodies become the site for the inscription of historical and socio-cultural codes.
Colliding multiple realities:
– A collective imaginary drawing references from European history and its spaces of power
– Architectures to inhabit as well as spaces that intimately inhabit bodies
– Four women who, through dance, unfold the strength of their presence
A living archive of highly personal movements
An exploration of identity and community
A joyful communion …
