Accompanied by composer Thierry Balasse, choreographer Mélanie Perrier brings together five dancers to explore jumping as a relational and unifying gesture.
The leap in itself embodies a range of imaginary worlds and a whole history of dance. On its own, it is a performance; with others, it becomes a way of relating. From the impulse to collective support, a poetics of listening grows between the performers that the vibrations of a gong accompany or constrain. Never before has dance been so communicative and a source of empathy, offering each spectator the energy needed to rediscover the impetus and desire to leap forward. This is a play that reconnects us with what the theatre can be: a place where people can come together to emancipate. Come on! Let's take the plunge!
"Working with gradation, phasing and phase shifting, Mélanie Perrier's piece functions as if the thing being choreographed were not so much the bodies being lifted as the lifting of the being, an inner, invisible vibration [...]. The dancers are the clappers of an invisible bell, as immense as the world in which being still resonates with the leap of the angel". An Armchair for the Orchestra
