The new creation Flowers expresses choreographer Edouard Hue’s desire for renewal, openness, freshness and simplicity. After ten years of choreography and work in complex contexts such as the pandemic years, he is looking for a new zero point in his choreographic writing, by drawing on forms that he has still little explored (jumps, turns, partnering). He collaborates with four performers in a process of research and creation questioning the limits of the body and its capacities.
These four dancers dress the space with several proposals exploring different sensations and gestures. One duo focuses on the attraction of being, while another brings a wave of excitement to the stage. A trio combines the need to rise by supporting each other with research around the lifts. The dancers join together in a quartet, bringing out their desire to live and feel alive together.
Flowers is a play that makes you smile with its lightness, its dramaturgical simplicity and its freshness. The playful, lively and smiling movements make up a show constructed in harmony with the performers. The piece broadcasts a continuity of emotions, movements and displacements. Edouard Hue sees these dancers as buds that bloom to shine thanks to everything that surrounds them. With Flowers, the choreographer highlights the taste of pleasure and freedom through the aroma of know-how and dance.
