Création 2016 – Théâtre de Liège – Festival Pays de danse (BE)
Length : 60′

Freely inspired by Virginia Woolf’s The Waves, Vai e passa is a race reflecting the extreme tension between the frenzy of the great world and the ephemeral nature of life, the violence of being and of nature, with its recurrences and explosions. This project explores the absurd condition of mankind, and the urgency that seems to exist to “be” and to “act”. Against a simple, abstract backdrop, the piece evolves in perpetual motion made up of passages, appearances and disappearances… Just like the crossings made by a stageboat subject to constant, subtle metamorphoses. Five dancers grapple with the relentlessness of time, falling prey to the uncertainty of the next day, a day that may perhaps dawn too late. One life, many lives; one way, a thousand ways, at once different and similar, where each individual makes a gesture and withdraws into a rhythmic movement evoking the ebb and flow of the tides. The eddy of these streams of consciousness, both similar and distinct, highlights the sense of urgency in its continuity, where time runs aground, between two cliffs.
