Video mapping and dance performance
Simon Lebon (France); performance: Henri Culot, Leelou Lancel, Sophiane Lebrun (Belgium); music: Birdd – Renaud Watine (France) – Residency

The Video Mapping Festival presents a performance combining live show and video mapping, in which dancers move around motionless mannequins in front of a structure composed of 2 containers. A dialogue between fixed bodies and bodies in motion which offers a poetic and sensitive reflection on loneliness and living together.

► Figure of speech
Figure of speech is an allegory of loneliness, in a world where everyone withdraws into themselves. Amidst motionless figures, a body seeks an echo, a glance, a response. But the figures around it remain frozen, unresponsive. A brief, poetic exploration of living together.

Performance: Henri Culot, Leelou Lancel, Sophiane Lebrun
Animation: Simon Lebon
Stage direction: Benjamin Durand
Light creation: Simon Lebon
Original music: Birdd – Renaud Watine
