Leslie Mannès (choreographer and dancer), Thomas Turine (composer) and Vincent Lemaître (light designer) venture into the invention of new rituals, seeking to provoke strong and liberating sensory experiences for the viewer. Together, they develop a common writing of body, sound and light as three foundations of a language to be co-invented. Between ancestral and futuristic bodily practices, their tendency to mix temporalities creates confusion. We enter a choreographic territory, sound and light, we caress hypnosis, the sensitive and the powerful.

 

ATOMIC 3001 (2016) transcends the liberation of a woman prey to an alienating and  STRENGTHS  (2019) is the gathering of three cyborg shaman warriors who make their bodies a vector of metamorphosis.

 

In their last creation LES RITUELS DU DÉSORDRE (2022), the choreographer, composer and lighting designer will question, through a participatory project, the needs or desires that collective practices arouse today, drawing inspiration from the history of festivals, carnivals and other hullabaloos.
