CONNEXION OU DÉCONNEXION

By Modestine Ekete

Duration: 35 minutes

This afro-contemporary choreographic creation explores the links that shape our existence: family, social, political, religious, spiritual or intimate. Powerful solo dance explores the duality of attachment and liberation through the title Connexion ou Déconnexion.

Grounded and ethereal, the choreography conveys the tensions, ruptures and reconnections that traverse every human journey. By confronting nourishing attachments with toxic ties, the piece does not tell a linear story: it invites the spectator on an introspective and cathartic journey, where they are encouraged to question their own relationships and the forces that constrain or liberate them.
