To fuel this momentum, before the performance the choreographer invites young people from Marseille aged 18 to 25 to share the works, images, sounds, films, poems and memories that inspire their view of the future. Gathered in a capsule serving as a record of the present, these fragments become the living material of the show. On stage, the choreographer’s body becomes a refuge for these sparks of youth in an immersive and profoundly human creation. Here, a space opens up where art asserts itself as a force for resilience, transmission and renewal. Carried by Julien Lepreux’s enveloping sound creation, this visually beautiful work unfolds a sensitive world, moving in its sincerity. A poetic and necessary moment, with its feet rooted in the present and its gaze turned toward tomorrow, inviting us to perceive the world—and ourselves—differently. Bande Artist - ZEF Coproduction
