In a decor made of metal and plexiglass plates, evocation of an urban universe, evolves the yamakasi acrobat Tony Thich. Dizzyingly, he jumps, runs, twists, falls, climbs, jumps, twists… tirelessly, carried away by L'Été by Vivaldi.

Flagrant Delirium

Evoking the myth of Icarus, the acrobat-dancer defies gravity, and yet each of his escapes brings him back to the ground. All his torn gestures, his suspended questions, reinforce the intensity of the shared moment. And we surprise him in Flagrant delirium ... of dream and insubordination.

On the song Images by Nina Simone interpreted in 1966, Antoinette Gomis places herself in the feminist heritage of the struggle for the recognition of the black woman in the society of the sixties. How to perpetuate the legacy of these early feminists? Through her own story and in tribute to the jazz diva, the choreographer gives back to her hip hop gestures mixed with afro-house all her femininity. She creates a vocabulary enriched by sign language to, she says, not exclude anyone: Images wants to be universal on the bottom as on the form.
