How can we materialize the bond between two dancers? Beyond fantasies and projections, how can we give form to everything that settles, that is transmitted, and that circulates in space when bodies move together? To explore this relationship, which is both intangible and intimate, Marie Goudot and Michaël Pomero drew on their own experiences as a couple and as performers. Seeking to produce an immersive experience of this attachment, they allowed voices to influence the creation of movement, guided by Julien Monty’s dramaturgical vision. Poet Gilles Amalvi and performer Christine De Smedt guide and redraw the trajectory of their gestures through words. Eyes wide shut, eyes closed but wide open to interiority, they materialize an image of the bond — a music of attachment. In this quartet for two bodies and two voices, the slightest sign makes us aware of the way in which bodies move in unison, slide, fall, get up again — dancing beyond appearances.
