Collusion

Creation of the performance “Collusion”

A chance encounter between people who share a vision starts everything. The band Molecule and the dancer-choreographer Sylvain Groud with threedancers, mix their paintbrushes for an exceptional concert-performance under the sign of dub. Over six months their work method was like an unique laboratory : each to himself and yet together. Molecule sent music samples that Sylvain Groud immediately reacted to «like a guinea pig in a drug trial». Momentum, pullback, race, the sound injection is the perfect «stimulant» to generate sensations, dance. From one email to the next, the score was refined by the tune of their chiseled and strangely intimate conversation, surfing on Molecule’s tweakings and reaching it’s choreographic target. To wrap up what Sylvain Groud calls the «exhilarating rumpus of the organs» that Molecule’s atmospheric flows provide him with, they rehearsed side by side, imbued with the emergency of a single fantastic feat. And one single wish: to make the audience feel all the good vibes that this dub gives the performers. Even if it means being submerged by the audience in a collective dance. Molecule and Sylvain Groud made the bet of an absolute meeting of the minds.
