PEAU (2023 CREATION) | PERFORMANCE

An unusual choreographic proposition, Peau uses screens, video projections and live editing effects. Four performers propose a continuous mutation of their image. It’s not a question of magnifying or destroying the image, but of mobilizing technology and textiles to create a constant metamorphosis. All these “skins” collide, giving us a sense of what the epidermis absorbs from contact with a daily bombardment of images. In contrast to an often cold and geometric digital universe, technology here is a means of returning to the self and to touch, an incursion that is as close as possible to the skin, or perhaps even… beneath it.
