BLUES ÉCARLATE
Choreographic poetry about the Caribbean woman
Creation 2012
A staging in which choreography and video accompany a parade of women of all stripes, dignity, rebellion, aesthetics, play, mirror, standard...
In blue and blues format, the ocean allows changing emotions to flow, with bursts of joy and torrents of tears opening up the space for reflection on the identity of Caribbean women.
Fabienne Kanor's Humus writings plunge us back into the whimsical and historical worlds that have given rise to portraits of heroic women.
Blues Ecarlate comes close to that infinite blue where sadness resonates with a mad desire to live. Like a blood pulse, a formidable intelligence that tells us what's good for us, like the “Po” spirit described by ancestral Eastern philosophy, Blues Ecarlate draws us to the center of ourselves...
An urgent need to exist, to move, to dance.
