Zoom (2017)

Starting from his last creation HORIZON which tries to seize the "oceanic feeling" evoked by Romain Rolland (the feeling of feeling and apprehending the world in its entirety), the choreographer Philippe Ménard proposes to the students and staff of the University to form a collective with inhabitants of the territory speaking the French Sign Language (LSF) and/or deaf in order to work around the micro/macro relationship in the danced movement. The choreographic work will seek the paths between the LSF and the danced movement, poetic, abstract and dreamlike. Through these comings and goings, as under the effect of a ZOOM movement, it will be a question of making emerge a vibrating oscillation which makes palpable our various links to space and the world by revealing the relations of the concrete to the poetic, of reality to the imaginary, of the wave to the ocean, and finally of the individual to the universe.
