Women and Cypresses situates the dancing women within the imagined framework and a hypothetical storyline devoid of a male presence where women sit atop the fence of gender.

The dancers morph into spectators, lighting engineers, and participants. Playing with expectations and genres, this impromptu adventure uses shadows, reflections, and lights to express a relationship with others and with space, evoking a sensation of rediscovered happiness through harmony and community.

Being different is at the centre of this work. The performers are exploring the essence of the hard of hearing dancer.

Initially created to express disability, this work underlines and celebrates ways that being different - with all of the attractive anomalies it implies - offers a complexity in performance, whereas a diversified use of one’s senses inspires a diversified use of the body. The human vessel embodies a machine both altering and alterable, in which originate many ways of expressing one’s difference in the world, what the artist describes as the principle of “ being heard hearing”.

The sleeping mind, with an eye before and an eye behind, rests. It becomes occupied

by a theatre of its invention; unaware of the alarming figure that dances before it bearing at

present. Can we look into our dreams to discover something imbedded in our unconscious

that has been threaded into dream life and reveals a personal truth unbeknownst to the

dreamer herself? If a dream scene can become loaded with such a potential revelation, can

we likewise charge a sequence in dance with the same captivating uncertainty?
