Earths

Within an ecosystem that is recreated on a stage covered in moss and through remarkable lighting variations, Belgian choreographer Louise Vanneste experiments with the sensory listening of those who came before us: algae, roots, ferns and more. Our imagination allows us to connect with things that are different in an empathetic and subjective way. This mental enjoyment spurs our bodies into motion and a choreographic communication is born. The bodies of the four dancers, which are dressed in costumes produced by our workshops, connect, uncoupling from themselves and the world around them in the heat of their stories and the state of the world in the here and now. A sound cue traces the temporality of the piece, which is imbued with the flow of organic, elusive and electric energies that are specific to the images presented, through a single movement. Thanks to bursts of delicate micro-movements, the dance gradually forges a community between people and plants.
