ROLL (creation 2024)

Roll is the third installment focusing on female communities, following IMAGO-GO (on the majorette figure) and GUÉRILLÈRES (centered around guerrilla warriors). This work is dedicated to the practice of roller skating, not so much through consensual roller dance, but through the lens of roller derby, a post-sport an contact sport, currently a focal point for political struggles. From sports confrontation to choreographic emulation, this piece will attempt to take these sequin-clad warriors to new horizons, applying contemporary dance tools to the roller derby lexicon and summoning various hypnotic dances that the roller skates will allow us to extend and accentuate, leading to the experience of altered states.

This creation is part of the Montpellier Danse Festival 2024.
