Chutes incandescentes
The choreographer Benoît Lachambre and the musician and dancer Clara Furey share a dream, and have combined their talents in this remarkable, passionate solo for two bodies.
He dreams. His sleep crackles with the fire of desire and the anger that fuels the pages ofRamayana, the tale of the tribulations of the Hindu prince Rama. She is his voice, his flesh, his vision, his cinematographer. In a remarkable dance with her piano, she sings, talks, prays and whispers. Sometimes he answers her in a back and forth of visceral resonance. Transformed into a man, woman, princess, demon or monkey god turned into a dog, she is a reflection of archetypes as mythological figures are reborn, taking on a human face. The body responds and changes with each new incarnation, and the voice moves from the heart to the belly. Forged with love, spirituality and sexuality, the images take shape and disintegrate in vivid fashion. A singular hymn to the collective subconscious.
A ceremonial incursion into the profound intimacy of the choreographer Benoît Lachambre and the musician, performer and dancer Clara Furey, Chutes incandescentes combines their many talents in a solo for two bodies. A remarkable, passionate work.
