NYX - Johanne Madore

Acrobatics, aerial and contemporary dance Wrapped by a scenic night, through “a management of darkness”, Johanne Madore unveils a dreamlike and chimerical universe. She recounts her childhood memories of a vast dark place, the ‘hold’ of the family store, the warehouse where large folds, fabrics, skins and furs were piled up. In a case of mechanical clatter of time, hands slip in and weave materials and dreams; hieratic and erotic bodies, like new chimeras offered in the drapes of NYX, mother of Eros, float metamorphosing between the chrysalis walls of a giant nocturnal maze flower.
