Baby – William Cardoso

Conceived as a questioning of what is defined and accepted as normal, Baby will depict with intensity the duality between the inner world, the imaginary and the thought in the face of the physicality and reality in which we live. Looking beyond norms and exploring the many forms of love, this work-in-progress aims to celebrate individuals by taking the form of a celebration of difference, of the freedom to be and to exist without compromise. William Cardoso seeks to explore the idea of confronting oneself, and others, in order to expose oneself and exist for all to see.
Baby is looking for ways to break free from the complexity of the world and the lives we lead.

Parasite – Mélanie Mesager

Parasite shows a body stripped of prestigious technique. A body prey to its semiconscious movements, those that we make without really realising it and that we sometimes call “parasitic” gestures. Does this body belong to the dancer? Partly. It also belongs to the audience, who construct it through their own eyes and are led to inhabit it symbolically, through the narrative that is presented during the performance. The truth of the stories told about this body is doubtful.
But isn’t that always the case? This research exists between the cracks in language, when understanding is impacted, to create a space of understanding between the audience and the performer.

Ppong – Jong-In Choi

Ppong will explore the special feelings associated with South Korea and its history. Through dance, Jong-in Choi wishes to explore the past of his native country, from the era of the Hanbok (traditional Korean costume) to the emergence of K-pop. Using music and dance from periods that we might define as traditional or ‘retro’, the choreographer will explore through the body the stories of love, friendship, youth and romance that are specific to his ancestors and to today’s generations.
