Infusion by choreographer and performer Marshall Diabo explores the symbolic patterns of tea leaves—a practice rooted in Indigenous traditions where tea is both remedy and ritual. This piece weaves together the forms of tea, spirit, and movement to reflect an ever-shifting inner landscape. Through dance, it contrasts the serenity of the tea ritual with mental turmoil, expressing a search for balance and an embrace of complexity.

Chaos, peace, balance

This piece explores the feeling one experiences upon waking, just after a dream—that sense of having seen people we once knew, and imagined the future we might have shared with them, had we not drifted apart.

Dream, nostalgia, longing

Charles Brecard, dancer, choreographer, and poet, presents What Remains, a solo adaptation of a work originally created in Rome in 2025 for seven performers. This piece explores impermanence and fading memory through a body in constant transformation, shifting from a nonchalant passerby to a nomad in search of meaning. Drawing inspiration from our inability to control time, the work delves into the missing fragments of our existence and the body’s continual metamorphosis, shaped by music and space. An intimate and universal journey through the fleeting nature of being.

Virtuosic, theatrical, poetic

Inspirée de l’épopée mandingue, cette création d’Aly Keita mêle mythe fondateur et récit personnel pour explorer les liens entre mémoire, identité et héritage. À travers la figure de Soundjata Keita — enfant vulnérable devenu roi — l’artiste questionne la manière dont la fragilité peut se transformer en force. Ce voyage intime et collectif célèbre la résilience, le déplacement et l’intimité, rendant hommage à celles et ceux qui doutent de leur place dans le monde, tout en portant en eux un pouvoir de transformation profonde.

Ritualiste, intimiste, métamorphose

Inspired by the Manding epic, this creation by Aly Keita blends foundational myth and personal narrative to explore the ties between memory, identity, and heritage. Through the figure of Soundjata Keita—a vulnerable child who became a king—the artist reflects on how fragility can be transformed into strength. This intimate and collective journey celebrates resilience, displacement, and closeness, paying tribute to those who question their place in the world while carrying within them the power for profound transformation.

Ritualistic, intimate, metamorphosis

Award-winning choreographer and performer Janusz Orlik continues his exploration of the profound dialogue between music and movement in III Symfonia. Set to Henryk Mikołaj Górecki’s iconic 1976 composition, this full-length work reflects Orlik’s dedication to emotionally resonant dance rooted in powerful musical scores. Known for his work with inclusive ensembles and international stages, Orlik crafts a choreography that, like Górecki’s music, seeks connection, reflection, and the enduring strength of the human spirit through art.

Contemplative, visceral, sincere
