Cactus Flower
dance perfromance, 2016, 45'
The succession of gestures follows its own organic logic: each repeated movement transforms gradually and imperceptibly into another, which in turn becomes another and another. In this continuous transformation the group even though composed of a number of individuals, is required to function as one body. The tension between the individual and the group questions our interactions and relationships. How do we communicate? How are we able to be ourselves and yet part of a group? How do we deal with roles, power and collective pressure. Improvisations and choreographed sequences alternate and communicate with a spoken script and the sound score composed by Stéphane Vecchione.
