Linnunrata (2007)
…..pluck my plume. And there, into the opening I weave your plume into the silky slope of flight. A lovenest of connection and separation. A daydream for a crane’s placenta. Drawing inspiration from Japanese popular folklore. A crane takes shape as a woman and weaves a tapestry using her own plumes as an act of love. Dance: Yuko Kominami
reMEMBRANEce (2009)
The choreographic piece explores individual and collective memories with a focus on skin. Skin can be defined as a fluid plane, that functions both as a boundary and a connection. It is also a field of communication, where spells, encounters and memories reside. The piece consists of solo dance (Yuko Kominami) and video projection (Catherine Richard). Two female artists’ autobiographical…

So open but unreachable but already here… Two dancer/choreographers, choreographing each other along the theme of the double. My double – the shadow I have never met but is already inside me and always…
recollections (2012)
Re-collections is a performance which aims to connect memories from the past and the future of a place by sharing memories of the present together. The stage is surrouded by trees and ponds, and covered with dried cow dung. In the middle of it, a bed-size white “monolith” stands like an alien substance. Various images are projected on this monolith,…
SAI (2013)
SAI combine danse, musique live et vidéos interactives afin d’explorer un élément essentiel de la vie : la répétition et les variations qu’elle induit. Basée sur différentes séquences, la chorégraphie s’inspire avant tout de mouvements du quotidien. De par leur répétition consciente, se crée un effet kaléidoscopique qui révèle la richesse de nos rituels journaliers. En posant son regard sur le…
