Creation for 4 dancers.
Duration: 45 minutes (no intermission) Accessible from 5 years old
In fairytales, the number three is often present whether for ordeals, characters or objects. In this show, it is there but in a different way. Four dancers for three tales :”The Little Match Girl”, “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Ugly Duckling”.
One of the characters will travel more than the others do. In this way, as soon as the little merchant burns a match to warm herself in her sad nook, her imagination will enable her to enter and to interfere with the characters from the two other tales. This imaginary world for young and old is highlighted by some wonderful video images whose naive drawings “in the old-fashioned way” give an inventive and poetic note in this hip hop universe.
Dream and poetry give way to a burlesque atmosphere that combine sensible and absurd. A symbolic and dreamlike journey to childhood which questions the quest for the “inner transformation”.
“Like in every piece I create, hip-hop dance is at the heart of my commitment as an artist. By creating for the young audience, the wonderful has entered my creativity. In this way, I wanted to express a so-called “urban” dance in a timeless world, the one of fairy tale, that will bet on virtuosity ,immediacy and also humor in order to transmit to the audience a contemporary reading, sensory and all in images.
As a result, the show is made of some quirky characters, sometimes wacky or unreal, half-humans, half-animals. The codes of hip-hop dance are shaken, nourished by the performers they are, children they have been, performing into an imaginary and inner emotional world.”
