Instinct is the pillar that animates Edouard Hue’s pieces. This innate and powerful tendency, common to all living beings, is as mysterious as it is natural. It is a primary sensation present at every moment. For the choreographer, instinct could be imagined as a generator of sensations and emotions that accompany us throughout our lives. A notion whose source is imperceptible. What is it really?

Dive submerges the stage with a choreographic wave that draws its source from the instinct of the choreographer and the performers of the piece. This new creation by Edouard Hue is a deep research of the origins of intuition, its catalyst and its influence on our choices. The performers are in perpetual visceral questioning about the existence of the being which magnifies the raw and virtuoso choreography. The choreographer takes advantage of this intimate, almost autobiographical subject for the dancers, to open up his creative process to the public on stage and to make them dive a little more into the universe of the piece. After various independent projects, with Dive, Edouard Hue returns with his Beaver Dam Company to his source choreographic writing powerfully transporting the audience from one emotion to another in a cocoon of suave intimacy.
