ÉMEUTE is a choreographic performance with a strong sonic component, featuring two performers against the backdrop of an installation made of eggshells. On a playing space with audiences seated on either side, dancer Thi Mai Nguyen and Marion Faure — DJ and live sound artist — bring the emotions and energy of resistance to life with great intensity.
The title is etymologically related to the French verb émouvoir, derived from the Latin ex movere, meaning ‘to set in motion’. In the Middle Ages, the word esmote referred to a collective emotion or a spontaneous popular uprising.
Starting from the material of the ‘egg’, the performance explores themes of vulnerability, responsibility, transformation and the power of taking action. It is about coming together and rising up collectively. By conjuring an imaginary crowd, the two performers spark an uprising together, just the two of them. In doing so, they bring us together around the forces that drive our collective movements.
