Les Souffles

Show co-produced by Le Gymnase CDCN and in residence in 2022

Like a landscape deployed in the stage space, three individuals and strange wind sculptures enter into a relationship, activate one other, contract, and abandon themselves. LAC Project invites the audience to a musical and choreographic symphony to the rhythm of human and mechanical breathing electrified by a live digital treatment. It rejects the boundaries between the organic and the mechanic, between the acoustic and the digital, and dreams of new relationships between the human body and its environment.
