PINA, YOU and ME….
Between dance and theater, Marion Schrotzenberger dives with humor and biting into the intimacy of her story, into the ordinary of her life to tend towards the universal.
Olivier Frégaville
Marion Schrotzenberger is a choreographer, dancer and director. From her dual roots between Reunion Island, where she comes from, and Brussels, she maintains a strong taste for the daily lives of ordinary people, cooking, humor and the stories we tell late at night. Her work uses dance and image to paint a portrait of herself and those close to her. Like a mirror that only shows one face at a time. Like an inspector investigating her own existence. Like all past lives tangle and collide to form the destiny of a single person.

SI PINA M’AVAIT DEMANDÉ..
“If Pina had asked me” immerses us in the daily life of a choreographer and single mother who encounters the harshness of everyday life. From her familiar and intriguing presence, the German choreographer pulls the performer with her questions, bringing out as in a kaleidoscope the contradictory facets that haunt her: between mysterious childhood and uncertain future, fantasized lover and lost companion, a dreamed life and a life lived.

Self-documentary, autofiction: a conscious choice, an artistic approach in itself.
In my show Si Pina had asked me and in my creations in general I use my own life, my daily life as a creative playground.
The choice to create from my life and that of those close to me is underpinned by a political and ethical posture. I do not place myself as an external element to study or comment on the lives of others. On the other hand, my life as a choreographer, as a single mother, as a friend, I choose to do with it what I want, to bring it all the self-deprecation, criticism and poetry that I wish to put into perspective light a reality that others share.
IF PINA HAD ASKED YOU
Everyone has the right to a poetic life
Since its creation, the Lookatmekid collective has developed with real enthusiasm work carried out by/with/in collaboration with amateurs, residents, people of all ages and conditions, more or less distant from the artistic environment. For the collective, it is an ethical and political question which has always seemed obvious to it and for which it has developed real expertise over time.
The spaces that welcome us as part of our creations are crossed by people, a history, a culture, a language, an architecture, a social reality, issues that are specific to it.
mutually enrich and bring out unexpected things on both sides. Finally, the notion of transmission is essential and it is by taking the time to show, do and make available what we practice as a discipline that the desire is born.
