PRESENTATION

MOEBIUS ACT I AND II, LIFE THAT GOES ON
The choreographer started from the end of The Moebius Strip to recreate a work with the young dancers of Manon Hotte’s Cie Virevolte. The movement continues from one work to the next, the performers multiply, the choreography is reversed. How better to embody the transmission of life, one of the declared stakes of the first work, than by inviting a new generation of dancers to appropriate the actions and rules of the system?

For an hour and a half, adult and then teenage dancers walk around and occupy an infinite space through a grid drawn on the floor. In this abstract space, series of movements and positions spread out in irregular waves, while light structures the flow of time: the luminosity decreases as it spreads over the entire stage. In this limbo the dancers pass the baton before the light gradually increases again. The bodies have changed but the laws governing movement are the same. Although the dancers sometimes stand, floorwork is more frequent. And when a dancer “climbs” horizontally with the other bodies lying down, a shift occurs. The relationship between the body and the abstract space imagined by the choreographer for Moebius is above all a question of perspective.
