DESCEND
A PIÈCE BY ELÉONORE VALÈRE-LACHKY
PRESS
“ While Héloïse Jadoul's voice-over recounts the story in a striking blend of strength and emotion, Violette Wanty dances it without ever falling into the illustration of the facts we are told. Here, the body carries the frenzy of the beginnings, the movement of the waves that capsize us, the hesitations, the sudden flights, the collapses, the attempts to get back up... And this parallel evolution between an intimate story and a dancing body keeps us constantly on the edge of our seats and shakes us to the core.”

” Wonderfull text ” Cindya Izzarelli / KIOSK
"When the symbiosis between sound, text, and movement is perfect, dance never seeks to merely illustrate the message. The intimate story and choreography evolve side by side, weaving together a profoundly moving tale."

SYNOPSIS
DESCEND paints the portrait of a woman standing in front of the sea. Upset by its movement, its waves, she no longer knows why she shouldn't jump. Her story, danced and narrated, raises the question of water, its ambivalence and its rhythms. Should we forget the ocean? The inner seas? The seas that come and go in the body's hinterland? Should we really give up on the sirens ?
In this story, Ulysses is a woman.
