noVland

At the intersection of dance and narrative unfolds this science-fiction choreographic thriller. In a sanitized Orwellian future, deprived of language and apparently without a tomorrow, five bodies in inter/action bring hope back to life. When poetry and live art breach hypnocracy. "We are in the year 3000 on Earth, and no one knows anymore that one day, humans spoke, told each other stories... No one remembers that they knew how to laugh, dance, love..." The voice-over that rises sets the tone, projecting us into an icy future, deserted by poetry, without pleasures or rest. This humanity emptied of its meaning moves ineluctably toward an artificial planet named noVLand. The fable can begin. As once in Running with eyes closed at the edge of a ravine, more recently in Les Autres or Descending, the company of Anton Lachky and Éléonore Valère interweaves writing with movement, without illustration ever taking over. The alchemy of choreographic ultra-precision, stunning with fluid energy, and literary narration opens the piece to all audiences, young or adult, novices or specialists. To all the winds of the imagination, to the human regaining ground.
