In the history of carnivals, bacchanals, feasts of fools and other charivaris, bodies are unleashed and dance to reverse the social order, make fun of the hierarchy and regenerate nature and society.
THE RITUALS OF DISORDER invite you to take part in this experiment in order to enjoy a moment of sharing, breaking away from everyday life. Together, artists and audiences experience the vital force of dance and music as a unifying and emancipating power in joy and celebration.
Leslie Mannès (choreographer and dancer), Thomas Turine (composer) and Vincent Lemaitre (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 bodily practices
ancestral and futuristic, 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 FORCES(2019) is the gathering of three cyborg shaman warriors who make their bodies a vector of metamorphosis.
In THE RITUALS OF DISORDER, the choreographer, composer and lighting designer question, through a participatory project, the needs or desires that collective practices arouse today by drawing inspiration from the history of festivals, carnivals and other carnivals.
