It is the highlighting of identity and the sometimes confusing and complex journey of a teenager who discovers his singularity; The disagreement that may exist between his body, his desires, his image and his inner feelings. The young generation questions the notion of gender and the non-binarities of man and woman, ANIMA poses these bodies in question on stage, between manga aesthetics, non-gendered figures, and live music. We are living a real revolution where everyone is becoming more and more free to empower themselves with their gender identity and to free themselves from feminine or masculine codes.
A way, too, to question the social injunctions linked to each gender.
What liberation is possible?
The ambition to bring us closer to a certain freedom of gender to either affirm the male / female gender with its codes or on the contrary to erase it, to get out of it and thus support a hybrid and unconventional side to “try out” singular identities .
Social networks have thus allowed an explosion of testimonies and possible identifications.
In-depth research must be done to collect stories or testimonies to anchor our story in multiple realities.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][rev_slider_vc alias=”anima”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
AMBITION & PROCESS
With ANIMA the ambition is to set in motion characters that are both women and men, then neither one or the other, to evolve towards a strangeness in the scenic narrative and move towards a fictional contemporary writing on the set which lies between the performance of transformation and rhythmic scenic writing in contemporary dance.
Develop characters for a future narrative of a choreographic piece whose content should remain polymorphic. (Incarnation of several writings and influences).
With ANIMA research, questioning our identities, our gendered or non-gendered movements and the influence and freedom of the Manga universe, as a way of redefining our relationship to theatricality.
The theatricality of a body, as such and its presence in a space of representation in the service of contemporary writing has always been at the heart of my concerns as a creative artist, and will remain a central subject within my background and my artistic research carried out within CUBe.
It is also a reflection on the work of emotions and their translation by the body.
Returning to a practice with a strong interest in the theatricality and expressiveness of the body.
How to put into perspective these different works, visions, practices, which questioned the potential of expression of the body and which valued the presence of the actors?
The point of honor will be put on a physical, organic, and not psychological game, like the method of Stanislavski and his construction of the character, or, that, very close, of the Actors Studio of Lee Strasberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_text_separator title=”save the date” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”black”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1664440217784{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 8px !important;padding-right: 8px !important;padding-bottom: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #000000 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #000000 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #000000 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #000000 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]CREATION November 4, 2022 at Théâtre de l’Olivier à Istres, scènes et cinés.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title=”TOURING 22/23″ title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”black”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]November 19, 22 at 3 p.m. at 3-CL in Luxembourg (L)
