The five dancers in Sujets are adorned in the clothing of nudity to dialogue closely with the light. Here the bodies, delicately covered in a luminous film, take it in turns to be flood-lit or concealed, a raw and terribly physical scene unfolds. Humanity is sent back to its foundations and its specimens explore the space they inhabit like the desire that moves them. Through a singular abstraction of the bodies, Sylvain Huc examines writing. He convokes the setting, the space, the sound and the lighting that the dancers carry out their movements in deaf thrusts, masses and expansions. Behind the philosophical title is hidden an approach that is in no way conceptual but rather sensitive and perceptive.
“Fascinated and captivated by this ballet of bodies, the audience is carried away by Sujets, a haunting performance.” Olivier Fregaville-Gratian d’Amore, Médiapart (June 2018)
