Our action touches upon several points, by exploring, among other things, the limits of the human body and of representation. This process implies redefining the practice of dance and the function of the dancer. By appearing in different frameworks that reveal the action of the body, or by adapting to them, we provoke the conditions for a new reflection on the different methods of representation, production and interpretation of dance. The interpretation of this physical presence also puts into question the positions of the spectator and the choreographer in these processes. Initiated with innovative collaborations with cultural operators from different sectors, our action includes the economic aspect as part of the artistic project. The fine arts sector accompanies this movement of opening up by sharing viewpoints and highlighting the answers provided to these issues.
