>> moreMénagerie
An idea of a fantasy of the ordinary, of the neccesity to dance and of the
energy transported by traditional music: traditional artistic practises are
the witnesses of something sensed in relation with this music
I have rediscovered dance as an outlet with these people, a simplicity behind
the words and the primary need to dance that is found in all actions which form
part of a social necessity that is still in vigour today.
Through this traditional music I have rediscovered, in a new way, the necessity
to dance where, even if the artistic and choreographic tools have evolved, the
form, the aesthetic and the base have only slightly changed. It is the direct
confrontation with this universe and my perspective that questions the position
of dance in our society that I wished tosubmit this title to the public eye.
