In these times of ecological crisis, which is also and above all a crisis of our sensitivity towards living things, we feel it is vital to create sensitive experiences that can challenge our imaginations, as well as the organisation of reality on which our world is based. The term holobiont refers to the fact that the life of any multi-cellular organism is only made possible by the multitude of other life forms it harbours. In other words, there is no such thing as an isolated form of life: on the contrary, all life is always multiplied by others, by intimate relationships of biological cooperation, by indispensable inter-species links.
This piece is therefore focused on the interactions and interspecific partnerships that make up the fabric of the living. At the heart of an immersive installation that will blur the boundaries between the public space and the performance space, the 7 performers will move between different ways of expressing this fundamental multiplicity, of organizing themselves and dancing together, made up of both mutual aid and friction, at the intersection of the molecular, mineral, plant, animal or hybrid planes, as interspecies utopias seeking to trigger in the spectators a concrete sensation of new possibilities.
Premiere : 8+9 October, 2025 – Biennale of Charleroi danse
