“Working the contained interior elegance that carries four dancers and deforming them by creating strange characters. The gestural eccentricities of these individuals create strangely familiar statements that make no attempt to imitate life, but restore its docile and at the same time grotesque undulations.
Four shifting dreamers.
In a place beyond time, with, as the only elements, a chair and a table… A waiting room, an antechamber… A place of autopsy, order or disorder, dreams.
Pushed, knocked about, we leave.”
Karine Ponties
