ALTER

SYNOPSIS

ALTER is a sonic and sensory dialogue between a dancer and a drummer without drums.

Together they explore all the states of clay, transforming the stage into micro and macroscopic landscapes. Imaginary places, cities, soils and reliefs emerge from the depths of their exchanges. Always in the moment, they trace intuitive paths in a direct, raw and unadorned relationship with the material. 

Over the last few months, I've had the opportunity to reclaim the space outside, to reconnect with the concrete nature of the earth, its substance, its smells, its sounds, its strength. I began to listen to its movements, to what it was saying and telling me. 

This connection brought back certain obsessions: territory, presence, construction, deconstruction, transformation, density, emptiness... And a lot of questions: 

Where is my land? Where do I live? How do I live together in this world? What is my relationship with the earth? Where is home? What traces will we leave of our passage?
