Créé en 2002 pour Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, danseur et chorégraphe des Ballets C. de la B., le solo ITtrouve son inspiration dans la nouvelle de Paul Bowles ‘La vallée Circulaire’. IT s’est avéré être une pollinisation croisée entre les vocabulaires gestuels très spécifiques des deux chorégraphes. Accompagné sur scène par un âne qui parle, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui déploie son extrême souplesse sur le tapis de danse.

La représentation s’est plus tard développée en un spectacle à part entière, la présence de l’âne y étant confiée aux images filmées de Wim Vandekeybus.
