Waiting

Dans Waiting, Carlotta Ikeda nous réapprend à nous arrêter, nous redonnant le goût de l’observation, le plaisir de l’attente. Si la voix de Marguerite Duras surgit, elle est seulement le point de départ, la chorégraphe ne danse pas ses mots.

“My body is waiting for something… That is all there is to it. My  subject is Onan, the sensual Biblical character who gave his name to  onanism. The Bible and sensuality… I find mixtures like this  stimulating. Onan is absolute, total pleasure in terrifying solitude.

Behind this quest for solitary ecstasy lies the fear of nothingness,  that point where life and death come face to face. Sometimes that vacuum  fills my body like a desire for death.

DESIRE… There is a desire that vibrates inside me, and for many years  I have been in search of that precise point where the trembling lies…  It is perhaps this wave of vibration that is the source of my  dancing.”
