PRE-CREATION (2020)
A Dancewalk is a mix between dance and walk, a dance continuously forward going. Usually performed over several kilometers through a city or a landscape, Foofwa develops now indoor versions that allow us to see the specific movements of dancewalking in a new perspective.
After Dancewalk- Retroperspective, here is another Dancewalk for an enclosed space: Voyage, a duet for Foofwa d’Imobilité and Alex Landa Aguirreche. Within an enclosed space, audience and performers together, apprehend with intimacy the freedom of traveling through dance, in body and spirit.
Voyage has a flexible format, a result of the dialogue with the inviting structure, between Foofwa’s ideas and inspiration and the organizers’ reality.
Suivant d’habiles et sensibles médiateurices, le public migre autour de deux protagonistes, proposant un déplacement de soi par le corps et l’esprit.
Pris au piège de l’être-dans-le-monde, confinés en leur être social, prisonniers de la civilisation, les corps des deux protagonistes demandent à sortir. Leurs gestes désirent le loin. Leurs actes exigent l’aventure hors de ce moi plein de compromis, d’injonctions, de mensonges, de violences.
Sorties des conventions, libérations des immobilismes, voyages hors conformismes, échappatoires des injonctions sociétales, ils voyagent afin d’être encore plus soi, afin d’être enfin tels quels, en espérant que cela posera de meilleures bases pour un être-ensemble vrai, juste, beau.
