Vangeline (USA-Fr)
The Slowest Wave
The Slowest Wave is a solo Butoh work choreographed and performed by Vangeline, with an original score by Ray Sweeten. This repertory work highlights Vangeline’s sculptural approach to Butoh, where stillness shapes the body into a living landscape. Her choreography resists softness, instead creating unexpected angular forms—triangles, arches, cranes—that transform the female body into architecture and living landscape. These geometries feel both ancient and futuristic: they suspend time and evoke a world slightly out of sync with the present. This temporal dissonance is mirrored by the costuming and soundscape, which hint at a posthuman aesthetic.
The Slowest Wave is a performance that uses the slow, meticulous movements of Butoh to convey deeper reflections on time, transformation, and the stillness of being. It encapsulates Vangeline’s ability to meld contemporary movement with Butoh while exploring profound, universal themes.
Quentin Chaveriat (Be)
Leonora
Leonora is a performance inspired by Butoh dance and based on the story "Down Under" by surrealist painter and writer Leonora Carrington, that describes in detail her psychiatric internment in a Spanish institution following the arrest of her lover Max Ernst as an opponent of the Nazi regime. As a queer metamorphosis, Quentin is transformed during the performance into a fantastical Leonora and plunges into his hallucinations to inhabit a madness that is not only a delirium, but also the refusal of a specific political context (the rise of fascism) and a resilience in relation to an alienating psychiatric system.
Alice Baldock (Uk)
Fruit of My Woman
In response to the suffocating pressures of 'straight time' (to get married, to have children, etc), a woman blurs the boundary between human, non-human, and celestial. Inspired by the short-story by Han Kang of the same name.
