The round (8+)

The round is a re-creation of Primitive (2014): a genuine tribute to youth and vital force by twelve children between 8 and 13 years old. 
 
A tribute to youth, based on the vitality and pure energy of bodies in motion, in close relationship with each other and with their environment. It evokes a return to the source (the breath, the rhythm of the bodies), and plays on the ambivalence of a positive yet destructive energy.  
 
The audience gathers around the performers and has a privileged view of the dancing bodies.  
The round not only revolves around the physical and abstract dimension of the dance itself, but also around the culture, personality and history of the young performers.
