La Tour des Vents


A being who attempts to invent the wind, to reveal it, breathing life into it in a solitary plenitude. Revealing, inventing, captivating, sweeping in.

A will-o-the-wisp, a fleeting figure, happy and simple, ethereal. Letting go, opposing an organic force rather than a thought.

La Tour des Vents is a 20 min solo created for the festival “Europe Meets Asia in Dance” in Hanoi. Thanks to the support of Wallonie Bruxelles and the Vietnam National Oper and Ballet, Karine Ponties worked for 12 days with a dancer from the vietnamese ballet. Quite an experience, for both of them…
