Théâtre-Concert : Comment ça se danse ?

"How Do You Dance?" rekindles the irresistible urge to dance, from childhood to neo-traditional folk dances. The show tells of the joy of smiles, the balance of bodies, the unity of humanity, and also of embodiment: when we stomp the ground in rhythm to ground ourselves, when we let go to confirm that we are alive. “Dancing in a circle means, first and foremost, dancing around a shared center,” says author and performer Chloé Martin.

At the center, in fact, lies a fragment of floor, like a raft shaped like an observation post overlooking the universe of the dance. Imaginary characters parade by, like so many dance partners. In duets, in groups of four, in a large circle, these dancing moments explore the power of being together. *How Do You Dance?* is the second installment of a cycle titled *Simplicity and Gratitude*, driven by the desire to nurture joy. So, join the dance on this convivial and jubilant journey!
