YUMÉ is a choreographic creation that brings together young and old around an enchanting performance, immersing the audience in a universe filled with mystery and magic. Inspired by Japanese tales and animated films, Edouard Hue delivers a wordless work where dance takes on the role of narration.
The story follows a heroine on a quest through fantastic worlds, in search of her lost shadow. This journey of initiation leads her to encounter characters as strange as they are captivating, each contributing to the fabric of this visual tale. From diving into the depths of the ocean to soaring through the clouds, she explores supernatural landscapes where the laws of nature are distorted.
The originality of this piece also lies in the use of Kurokos, traditional figures from Japanese theater, who bring a magical breath and striking visual effects. Thanks to them, transitions blend naturally into a moving set, creating illusions, sudden appearances, and spectacular graphic effects. The Kurokos become invisible partners, orchestrating an extraordinary dimension to each scene, thus enhancing the beauty and wonder of the show.
With YUMÉ, Edouard Hue blends choreographic virtuosity and imagination, transporting the spectator into a sensory odyssey where each movement, each encounter, and each transformation of space opens the door to a dreamlike world.
A fabulous tale danced with poetry and gentleness.
The audience’s applause shows it: the performance delights both young and old
Pure magic, poetry in images and movement. This is Yumé, an extraordinary show from Switzerland. If there’s a chance to see it, don’t miss it.
