What am I?
Without me, no one would exist…
You see me in everyone!
Always similar, but very, very different…
I am three-dimensional and interactive.
I move on the outside and on the inside.
You can touch me, even hug me.
I live between what is imagined and what hands can reach.
Yes, yes, our body is all this and much more.
It’s a real party!
That’s why we are going to dance and celebrate it together.
Here, we will explore a series of games where no one loses, and everyone wins. We will transform ourselves by using our own resources, traveling through time and space. We will experiment with choreographic games and free movement, awakening our sensitivity and bodily intelligence to enjoy through motion.
