Slow Down

In a special collaboration with the Paris-based choreographer Martine Pisani. In this playground for six dancers, Slow Down explores the insignificant troubles, the practical jokes, the awkwardness, and the barricades that make human relationships come alive. Other worlds come to mind: Charlie Chaplin's or Jaques Tati's Six characters reveal secrets and obstacles of a public performance.

Their hesitation, lost orientation, inarticulate declarations, and movement sequences, find irony in the everyday demands of discipline, creativity, concentration and ardour.
