Snips paint the course of a life. A reflection on the relationship of man with nature, spirituality, love and fear: what moves us in search of a meaning for life. It was from the instantaneous banal that I inspired myself to investigate what makes us deeper and inventive.
Small actions and gestures are hidden in a dance designed for 21 pulsating bodies. They announce different states of tension and are purposeful noise. Simultaneous scenes unfold little by little to reveal dissenting details. To glimpse an imprecise movement, a momentary loss of control, an error, which deep down constitute the essential parts that give poetic sense to this dance.
The summation of a fragmented narrative with an agile and almost pathetic body language results the possibility of a free reading this work. The dance was drafted collectively with the company's interpreters-creators, who contributed not only in choreography but also in the deepening of ideas.
