Often equated with anger and chaos, the scream is criticised, condemned or censored in language and public space. It can be seen as the most instantaneous and audible form of personal urgency towards political and public space. Whether filled with rage, pleasure, pain or silence, it is a powerful and deeply intimate act. It provokes an instant empathy that also summons up our most common and instinctive feelings. It is a crack in time and space.
This piece is an attempt to reappropriate this radical expression and tame its raw material. Through a powerful physical and sonic journey, the aim is to make this vital impulse accessible as a scream of alarm in the context of the geopolitical, ideological and ecological crisis we are going through. The piece is a choreographic proposition in which physicality and embodiment remain central. The piece, created in 2023 for Sati Veyrunes and passed on to Thi mai Nguyen in 2024, is inspired by poems and manifestos written by B. Kahn. Supported by the powerful light (N. Doucet) and sound (L. Ross) design, a vibrant landscape emerges in which silence, protest and primal experience intermingle.... The piece becomes an unfolding poem.
With the support of the French Institute in Bulgaria and the French Institute in Paris.
