Si c’est une fille - Visite chorégraphiée
“We women, we want to be what we are, and not be what we are made for.”
– Maria Deraisme, 1869 –
Accompanied by part of the team of her next creation Si cest une fille, Marion Alzieu takes a plunge into the question of bodies and their representations in various cultures today. Having a female body is not trivial, society attributes to women different injunctions and obligations depending on the culture or membership.
Choosing the hall of the old chapel, Marion and her dancers weave a performance based on different choreographic aesthetics such as contemporary dance, hip-hop dance, puppeteer techniques. The works present then become full characters of the performance, both sources of inspiration and dance companions.
Some emblematic ones, such as Rodin’s “Eve”, Rik Wouters’ “La folle danseuse” or even Aristide Maillol’s “Venus with a necklace”, interact with the dancers whose bodies are then permeable to the power of bronze statues. plaster.
How to embody the power of sensuality? How to magnify the beauty of modesty, of vulnerability? How to make body to body with movements, fixed postures?
In a gesture imprinted at the same time of subtlety and of an earthly energy, this performance expresses the unconditional desire to celebrate the woman, to celebrate the bodies, to account for our power.
