At the heart of this show, the unique relationship between a dancer and his shadow becomes a powerful metaphor: that of identity, duality, and encounter. The shadow, elusive and alive, fascinates, escapes, provokes. It is at once a reflection, a double, a companion and a mystery. Together, dancer and shadow seek each other out, confront each other and finally meet, drawing an intimate and universal story, accessible to all.

With Mon Ombre, I want to weave a dialogue between dance and poetry, where the play of light, the movement of bodies and a subtle narrative touch young and old alike. Conceived as a danced fable, this piece invites us to look beyond appearances, to question ourselves, others and what binds us together.

Breaking, with its blend of agility, fluidity and raw power, becomes a language in its own right here. It brings to life an exploration between absence and presence, visible and invisible, in a theatrical universe where light and shadow no longer oppose each other but complement each other.
