To go from one shore to another, to deviate and then to return, to change direction en the way. To re-focus, to lose one’s footing, to re-discover oneself.

REVERSE I SE RÊVER incites questions that animate our existences, and shape our choices. This creative piece is a reflection on our geographical anchors, the migrations of our societies.

Are we shaped by our origins? Can we turn the tide?

“In REVERSE I SE RÊVER, I question migrations, movings ; I question my obsession with identity, origins and memory. I challenge myself to re-live events backwards to understand them better and enhance their apprehension.
To see the world in reverse in order to dream differently.
I explore the notion of crossing, of departure point and arrival one. Through this piece where dance and music combine to reveal an artistic offering, I hope to show paths emerging that define and are part of us, paths that we undertook by choice or out of necessity. What are they? Where are they anchored?”
