Canine Jaunâtre 3

Marlene Monteiro
Freitas Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon

14 > 16.03.2024
Dance

The Cape Verdean choreographer Marlene Monteiro Freitas offers us a performance as fascinating and enigmatic as its title. 

In a timeless space governed by a clock that times random rounds, the dancers form contradictory figures. The usual aesthetic codes give way to an exaltation of contrasts, driven by both life and death instincts. 

Canine Jaunâtre 3 becomes a game of bodies in action, in which the seventeen dancer-teammates, all wearing the number three, are subjected to contradictory rules and principles. 

Making, unmaking, advancing, retreating – these virtuosos with their highly organic and subversive movements express themselves in a way that is both animal-like and robotic. They gradually lead us into uncertain territory, where borders become blurred. 

A dance that summons up our memories of carnival rituals, disturbing the apparent order of things and our overly comfortable habits of perception.

Corealisation La Monnaie, Charleroi Danse, Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles
