Mnémosyne
extrait de 13'
extract from the show
In Greek mythology, Mnemosyne is the goddess of memory. Daughter of Gaia (the earth) and Uranus (the sky), she would have invented the words and the language, allowing humans to express themselves. She gave birth to the 9 muses, and is often represented chin in her hand, her hair beaded with pearls and pinching the tip of her ear between her two fingers.
MneMosyne transports us into a quantum universe where the infinitely small and the infinitely large meet. This trio was born from a reflection around the body’s memory and the latest research in epigenetics *. It thus summons cellular, individual and collective memory in a fractal dance where different scales of reading are superimposed. At the heart of our cells lies the body’s memory of our ancestors, a silent memory that is passed down from generation to generation. But, just as, on an individual level, the encounter with a person or an event can forever bewilder our intimate life or our vision of the world, the expression of our genes can also change if we change our habits and our environment… In a never-ending ballet, the dancers do and undo their links, distort a pin-point choreographic writing; new arrangements are composed by successive waves of binary movements, where the bodies complete each other, intermingle, reject each other in a succession of micro Big Bangs.
These choreographic mutations, by soliciting the spectator’s memory, create both an impression of déjà vu and first times, mixed together.

l’écriture chorégraphique du spectacle Mnémosyne
Mnemosyne is a trio, but only on the surface. Other dancers
crossing the way of the artists during the choreographic process
in fact enriched the final creation. The embodied memory of the
interpreters was thus directly solicited: by the memory of the
contact with the others, with their impulses, with their presence, the
dancers appeal to the corporeal and sensory memory, to rediscover
the sensations those past encounters could have provoked. In the
process, as in the background, lies the question of a footprint that
each of them has left in time and the repercussion it has on others.
