Agenda

— Meeting with Kaïsha Essiane and her team to discuss the creative process

What can you do with a body that's slipping away? After XXL, in which she asserted herself as a dancer and celebrated the grace and power of her forms, Kaïsha Essiane continues her investigation by focusing no longer on self-assertion, but on the shadow it casts. A body deprived of momentum and energy, a subject that retracts, an experience of emptiness where the injunctions to productivity seize up. While the song by The Shirelles - mama said there'll be days like this - resonates like a magic formula, a choreography of the kitchen is sketched out, as if to extract the unsuspected strength "from the things in my body” (Les choses de mon corps).

Public: professional dancers.

Deep Cuts is a solo that transforms into cycles of song. It's also a sadomaso-ecological story, a pastoral work for modern times, a drunken dance of desire and destruction. From his studio, Bryan Campbell stalks the woods like a bondage partner. But can a tree consent? Can a body become a tool? The friction of this rough eroticism provokes thought: what if our ecological crisis was the consequence of a failed contract with nature?

For Submersion Games, Bryan Campbell takes on Moby Dick. He looks into the relationship we have with work, non-standard sexualities, ecosystemic complexities and the desire to find a different world. With the help of singer-dancer Olivier Normand, he offers readings from the novel, songs from the forthcoming creation and film screenings.
