PRINCIPE DE PRÉCAUTION
A duet exploring resistance, poetry and absurdity around the subject of a toxic matter.
2014 creation - 2019 re-creation.
Collaboration with Back Art Diffusion
Because ringing an alarm bell cannot defy the thousand and one conservative exemptions, we allow ourselves to dance devastation in the name of the precautionary principle. Chemical substances are flawlessly flowing deep within our soils, killing the hope of seeing life blooming out again.
Nature damaged by greedy humanity, the absurdities of our history perpetuate our confusion. Aren’t we above it all, safely at the surface? Or are we already stuck in the filter of our slow extinction ? Well sheltered ? Or are we already stuck in the filter of our slow extinction... In our countries, nowadays, we are surrounded by chlordecone and clearly messing up, looking for contradictory assessments.
And so… Our bodies express the outrage and the tension of a muffled rebellion: impulses, obstacles, tackles, stresses and silences open up a space to the fluidity of a ritual, to humor as a way to react, to the poetry of hope.
Our choreographic team spreads out in an immaculate space, which reflects the fierce and floating nature of what we have to say.
Time speeds up our actions and breaks down our emotions. And here we are… Embedded in a devastated landscape.
