Sylvain Groud & Françoise Pétrovitch

Adolescent is diving into the turbulent waters of adolescence. Delving into the adolescent figures of Françoise Pétrovitch, Sylvain Groud undertakes to explore the extreme complexity of the protean and plural body states.

On stage, ten bodies - whose age is difficult to grasp - are playing and thwarting the forces of both the intimate and the collective. The choreography puts in tension the need for singularization as well as the need to belong to the collective to survive or just exist. At this period of life, every situation raises the issue of how, with a moving, elusive body, to become one with the Other.

This troubled age has always fascinated, shaping civilizations, with the rite of passage. Sylvain Ground confronts on stage this changing state - biological and psychological, social and societal - in all its possibilities and contradictions. At the time of metamorphoses, the body grows while irreparably, the child deforms. Each on his territory, Françoise Pétrovitch and Sylvain Groud represent bodies in posture, in action. The choreographer and the plastic artist question the gestures, until exhausting them, by drawing or dancing, to create a collection of intimate stories.
