recorded at the CND 20 January 2011

Five women explore evanescence, the unconsciousness of being and image. A drop of water disturbs the expanse of a lake, the wave propagates, disturbing the surface, then disappears. Each of these women is a smile from the Mona Lisa, a mystery, an impromptu that marks the passage of time and invites us, at last, to contemplate it.

Nourished by hypnotic music, the choreography, with a single strike, is confounded by an accumulation of effects, of lights, of images, of movements. “Imago” is an exploration of abandon, an initiator of points of view, a revealer of our inability to see everything.

Hide-and-seek, existence-inexistence of bodies on stage, “Imago” instigates an acute exercise in disappearing and unveils its etymology on stage: appearance, mask, pretence, reflect, phantom.
