Creation for young and all audiences, for 3 dancers. Premières January 13-24, 2016 – Théâtre National de Chaillot (salle Maurice Béjart)
Following her collaboration with Yacine Aït Kaci for Double Vision, in which images and dance mixed into becoming a living scene, it’s now with Elyx, a small drawn character by Yacine, that we embark on a journey between reality and imagination.
In between a joyful ode to the Earth, our nurturting mother that gives us so much, and a darker ode because this Earth suffers and sees many species die every day, this new creation for the young public calls for awarness for the next generation.
With Elyx as a whistleblower angel, a Japanese couple of dancers who start to realize the danger, and a third dancer standing for Elyx on stage, little ones and grown-ups are invited to imagine together the Earth of tomorrow.
The creation’s title, Seeds, stands for hope, birth, rebirth : seeds will be spread, virtually as well as physically, for new ideas to flourish, new wishes, a tribute to life.
