Ballade2024

Traverse la forêt, monte l'échelle et touche le ciel_ Romance (Cross the forest, climb the ladder and touch the sky_ Romance) is a project in which each spectator imagines and projects himself into the story: space and bodies are repeated and transformed at the same time by accumulation and variation, adding new elements to each repetition. Abstraction verges on narration, tension dances with playfulness. In this piece, Lorena pursues the theme she has been developing for several years of making the invisible visible, but this time with a young audience in mind. It will be a duo of dancers accompanied by the visual universe of visual artist Cécile Meynier. The themes addressed in this show are to question the notion of the familiar and the foreign, of repetition and the unexpected. For this, she will draw freely on the book Romance by Blexbolex, which struck her with its space and freedom for the reader to imagine, read and compose the story between the pages and images, associating a word with each image.

A play for young audiences 

For the pleasure of repetition

Variation

For the pleasure of movement

Of transformation

A fantastic journey 

Of inversion

Of the invisible

For the beauty of form

For the surprise of accident

To soothe our fears

To invent what lies between images

To compose with the body and the environment
