What if Ophelia weren’t dead? Four women inhabited by a common strength, strange creatures with glistening hair, perambulate in the reflections of water on stage as well as on screen. Those muddled swells double their bodies, free them from gravity and exert over them a destructive attraction… Based on the Shakespearian figure of Ophelia, dead by drowning, Nicole Mossoux and Patrick Bonté’s new creation seizes the audience members. Everything there is unwonted, captivating, and resolutely black. The couple of artists likes inventing unseen worlds where the audience lets itself slide willingly into deep water.

Without concession nor modesty, William Cardoso’s work deals with the desire to live. Committed to LGBTQIA+ issues, the young Luxemburgish choreographer scrutinizes the vertigo that grips us, when society’s expectations oppress the most deeply buried part of ourselves. On stage, two dancers manifest a very personal physical and dynamic commitment. The stake is to maintain a balance or to find one. Out of this fault line, those two dancing bodies build a line of defense for themselves, to claim even more the need to walk freely.
