Snapshots #2 - Léa Lansade

With Snapshots, choreographers Christian and François Ben Aïm propose  a series of solos performed by women. This work brings into dialogue  the springs of intimacy and the hectic forces of the outside world. It  unfolds as a fragmented study of what makes up an identity, seen as a  moving matter.

Each solo is an opportunity to bring out a new energy, underground,  unknown, a reserved part. This study borrows from haiku, the poetry of  the moment. Here, through movement and gesture, the choreographers seek  to capture this emotion, immediate and fleeting, in the manner of a  photographer capturing the decisive moment.

Short pieces, light forms for the stage as well as in situ, they can  be presented indoors or outdoors. These solos can live autonomously,  alone, or be associated with each other, in a configuration adapted to  each occasion and space.
Eventually, this series of short female portraits will constitute a  mosaic, a kaleidoscope with multiple entries and combinations.

> The second solo, Snapshots #2 Léa Lansade,  is a nocturnal crossing between dream and vigil on the Metamorphoses  nocturnes, first quartet of Ligeti, performed by the Quartet Voce. This  expressive, extravagant piece by Ligeti conjures up a dreamlike  universe, sliding from tragedy to irony with subtlety. It is through the  prism of dreams and the unconscious that this Snapshot is spun, to  summon in a tone sometimes serious, sometimes burlesque: bewitchment,  regression, freedom and evanescence!
