About this event
The paradoxical order, a mechanism enabling all forms of bullying, marks adolescence in the same way as the persistence of stereotypes or the urgency of inventing new stories. As an attentive observer of these phenomena, the choreographer is for the first time addressing an audience of that age. When the body is transformed, when desires run riot. The age of mutant relationships, of paralyzing fear, of all forms of daring. À nos chères salutes the lineage of women – yesterday, today and tomorrow – while evoking the bodies that are abused, battered, used for pleasure or reduced to silence. Here the body becomes a dramaturgical vector. Attached to rituals, the common thread of her creations, Leslie Mannès invents new ones, listens out for disorder, waits on revolt, celebrates alliances, heads off the beaten track to arrive together at a place of dissidence.
