The new creation Flowers expresses choreographer Edouard Hue’s desire for renewal, openness, freshness, and simplicity. After ten years of choreography and working in complex contexts such as the pandemic years, he seeks a new starting point in his choreographic writing, drawing from forms he has yet to fully explore (jumps, turns, partnering). He collaborates with four performers in a research and creation process questioning the limits of the body and its capabilities.
These four dancers adorn the space with several propositions exploring different sensations and gestures. One duo focuses on the attraction of being, while another unleashes a wave of excitement on stage. A trio combines the necessity of rising by supporting each other with an exploration of lifts. The dancers come together in a quartet, making their desire to live and feel alive together blossom.
Flowers is a piece that makes you smile with its lightness, its dramaturgical simplicity, and its freshness. The playful, lively, and smiling movements compose a show built in harmony with the performers. The piece diffuses a continuity of emotions, movements, and displacements. Edouard Hue sees these dancers as buds that bloom to radiate thanks to everything around them. With Flowers, the choreographer highlights the taste for pleasure and freedom through the aroma of expertise and dance.
