J'aime bien les plis
Alina Arshi

In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting La Ménagerie de verre for the presentation of J'aime bien les plis by Alina Arshi as part of Les Inaccoutumés Automne festival 2025.
Designed as a singing and dancing duet, this show features two cis women engaged in an exploration of the notions of metaphor and contradiction. Their bodies navigate between stillness and choreographic expressiveness, while song and speech weave a dialogue oscillating between hallucination and interaction. This hybrid language opens a space for sensitive introspection, shared with the audience, who is invited to sit on the stage in intimate proximity with the performers. The music, blending soul, jazz and electronic distortions, supports the dramatic tensions of this sensitive examination of the themes of conflict, love, irrationality and analogy.
