“In recent years, I have been looking for ways and reasons to dance. I realized, while dancing at home, in studios and in discos, of a common pleasure in these contexts that kept me going. With few or no witnesses, this parallel dance of pleasure seemed to arise between a musical formalism and an emotional expressiveness without constraints.
My “shameless dance” perhaps exists only in theatre and is only possible by the crossing of various spaces, times and motivations: the room I associate with the time of childhood, the disco I associate with the time of adolescence and the studio I associate with adulthood. I associate the time of the present, during a performance, of both spectators and performers. Danced by me, this dance-sensation is immediate and reflected, simple and complex, referential and naif, abstract and symbolic, serious and amusing, intimate and shared, technical and unprepared”.
