PAPILLON L'ENVOLÉE
Papillon (L’envolée) is an outdoor, site-specific work that combines hip-hop and contemporary dance aesthetics, juxtaposing three short solos in order to explore the fine lines between order and disorder. Inspired by chaos theory and mathematical equations, it speaks of metamorphosis, the cyclical nature of the self – change, loss, grief, acceptance and growth – the strangeness that lives inside us, finding freedom in confinement, loneliness and togetherness, singularity and similarity, and the importance of human connection. A modular, puzzle-like performance that can be adapted to various performance settings.
