Corpuscule Danse
In a blinding light, a scream rings out.
Bodies, fleeing or in pursuit, crawl and intertwine. What is happening? Is it the beginning of the apocalypse… or are the fictions of our fears spilling into reality?
On stage, four performers embody the darker corners of the imagination, giving shape to their anxieties. Drawing on the codes of suspense and horror, this choreographic fable unsettles perception and blurs the boundaries between the real and the imagined.
Driven by instincts of survival and solidarity, the bodies become sites of transformation where what haunts us is revealed, displaced, and reinvented, in an atmosphere that is as captivating as it is unsettling.
Balancing tension, vulnerability, and offbeat humour, the work invites us to coexist with our inner monsters—and perhaps, in doing so, to tame them.
