Bodies and Mirrors

A unique double bill bringing together two leading figures in contemporary art. Whether exploring family ties or engaging in a dialogue with their own artistic worlds, the artists lay bare the boundary between the self, the other, and the world.

Inès Chiha - elle s’est habillée, puis elle a retiré sa peau (15 min)

A solo performance that straddles the line between autobiography and fiction, exploring the power of stories over our identities and our memory. Inspired by her family history and the tales passed down by her father, the piece blends speech, movement, and personal testimony to examine the stories we carry with us — the ones that shape us — and our ability to rewrite our own narrative.

Yasushi Kurotaki - Double Poem (15 min)

Perception, Memories, Existence

In Double Poem, Japanese choreographer and performer Yasushi Kurotaki explores the intimate dialogue between the creator and his work through the body. Inspired by mime and movement, he envisions each creation as a miniature of life and nature, where memory, gravity, and fragility converge. Winner of first prize at the 2023 SAI Dance Festival, he has developed a unique physical language, which he presents both in Japan and internationally.
