Hors Sol asks an essential question: What is our connection to the soil and to the living world it shelters, that discreet, invisible life hidden beneath our feet?
45 min • ages 6 and up • free in public space Here, the soil becomes a prism, an anchor point, a pillar for the dancers; it is also a celebration, an invitation to make this underground world visible and precious, through dance and words. The discreet foundation of all fertility, the soil carries us, connects us; it is what we share. A true treasure, the soil is where death transforms, decomposes, and recycles itself so that life can emerge again. But in a society where organic soils are disappearing, where more and more is built on inert, sealed surfaces with no possible dialogue, this connection is fraying. With Hors Sol, the aim is to rekindle this bond, honor it, defend it, and restore its tangible presence through powerful, intense, grounded dances, but also fragile ones, porous and attuned to the world and the invisible. This performance is an attempt at reconciliation. SEE THE PROGRAM THE COMPANY Dakipaya Danza was born from the meeting of Anaïta Pourchot and Paula Carmona Jimenez at the CCN de Montpellier in 2008. Since 2015, Anaïta Pourchot has directed the company. Dakipaya Danza’s aim is to maintain a close connection with audiences, however diverse they may be. Its choreographic writing seeks to create visuals and emotion that allow each person to construct and interpret a story. Inspired by everyday reality, it encourages reflection on moral and material living conditions without making value judgments. Dakipaya Danza’s challenge is to create all-terrain performances. By taking over public spaces or non-dedicated venues, the company seeks to reinvent its relationship with spectators by offering free access to the imagination and an opening toward a contemporary form of dance. ; Credits: art: Philippe Deutsch.
