What if we looked at life from death’s perspective? Lighthearted yet unflinching, Nantes-based choreographer Audrey Bodiguel presents a solo featuring sequins and compost, exploring funeral rituals and celebrating the fire that burns within us, life both embodied and disembodied. Sensitive and radiant! Dancing a farewell flash mob, singing Michel Polnareff songs, and rattling off jokes? This woman pulls out all the stops to stay alive, to fill the void. Everything around her is shiny, fluorescent, and phosphorescent. Is she really prepared to end up as compost? Exploring the reinvention of funeral ceremonies, human limitations as much as planetary boundaries, Audrey Bodiguel imagines her own funeral, searching for a voice from beyond the grave and the dance of the final breath. Her wild energy elevates death, overturns our perceptions, and reminds anyone willing to listen that our bodies nourish life.
