Partager le Vide

Sharing the emptiness. Making that emptiness resonate, amplifying and filling it with echoes and traces. These echoes and traces resonate with each other in turn and emphasize their frequencies.  

Sophia Dinkel and Marie Goudot – two dancers with different backgrounds and career paths who have both danced for Rosas – have invented a highly personal language. A language as a way of relating to each other and to space. A language that develops in in-between spaces. A language that bends, that contracts, and elicits moments of loneliness, intersection, or vertigo.  

Using two electric guitars, they align their bodies and get to work. The guitars soon turn out to be the mouthpieces for their states of mind and become projection surfaces for auditory landscapes. Sophia Dinkel and Marie Goudot start from the blank page of the stage and present their movements as an answer to invisibility: as in the ebb and flow of a stream, their gestures harmonize with the strings of the guitars. In this way, they give shape to the stories and questions that drive them: about the status of author and performer, about the female body, and about the relationship between dance and memory.
