In a blinding light, a scream rings out.Bodies, fleeing or hunting, crawl and intertwine. What is happening? Is this the beginning of the apocalypse… or is the cinema of our fears intruding into reality?On stage, four performers embody a dark side of the imagination and give shape to their anxieties. Drawing on the codes of suspense and horror, this choreographic fable blurs our perceptions.Driven by impulses of survival and solidarity, the bodies become spaces of transformation where the things that haunt us are revealed, displaced and reinvented, in an atmosphere that is as captivating as it is unsettling.Balancing tension, vulnerability and offbeat humour, the work invites us to coexist with our own chimeras in order to tame them.Full details ➤ https://agoradanse.com/evenement/laffront-des-chimeres/
The audio description is made possible through a collaboration between Agora de la danse and Danse-Cité, with the generous support of major donors TD | Promesse d’agir, Fondation Mirella & Lino Saputo, Fondation Sibylla Hesse, Fondation Whitearn and the Military Police Fund for Blind Children.
