Passages

Passages is a roaming project that explores the relationship between the movement of bodies and the spaces in which they evolve. By acting on imaginary objects, the performers make the multiple dimensions of the places they inhabit resonate.

Passages can be adapted to a wide variety of spaces: parks, museums, houses, churches… Whether it’s a vault supported by pillars, a long corridor or an immense lawn, the choreography is composed of modules designed to fit these different types of space. It can thus redeploy itself in a singular way according to the identity of each place. It requires neither stage, nor technique, nor musical equipment.
