Augures

Creation of Emmanuelle Huynh in 2012 in the CNDC (Angers)

A variation performed based on the perpetual tensions provoked by the changing destiny of each individual, this new work by Emmanuelle HUYNH tears down the myth of the uniqueness of the individual, basing her idea on that piece of the self which, from childhood to adulthood, continually rebuilds itself, reinventing itself, multiplying his or her successive faces, appearing and disappearing over the course of the various. vibrant stages of our existence.

Beginning with Mùa, her first solo, and Cribles, her latest work, Emmanuelle Huynh seems to renew her choreographic langugage in each piece, most of the time interweaving her work with other disciplines.
In this piece she has used The Shining, the film by Stanley Kubrick, as the basis for part of her work, articulated around the idea of the fall as an image of the condition of Man, oscillating continuously between balance and imbalance, and the figure of a being, consisting of both past and future, called upon to transform itself, to multiply itself, to perpetuate itself.
Falling, advancing, transforming, multiplying: this is what drives Augures, as if a harbinger for something which is not yet here but which we can feel, “appearing and disappearing over the course of the various, vibrant stages of our lives.”
Emmanuelle Huynh addresses the ideas of the single and the multiple, examining the faces we hold inside ourselves as well as the sometimes painful confrontations we have with others. Through her exploration of “populated solitude,” Emmanuelle Huynh observes the bitterness of “one” against “more than one.” Using a set design which offers several different spaces, like the rooms in a hotel, she shares with us different feelings and different colours.

Augures is a way of conjugating on stage, in the moment of the performance, the past and the future each of us carries inside him or herself.
