DOS AU MUR is a creation where Hip Hop dance mixes aesthetic and body performance in order to raise objective and intelligible sociological questions. Through the expression “DOS AU MUR”, the artists approach a process in which humans, and the society that they form, are in constant correlation.
DOS AU MUR sends us back to the idea that humans are building their surrounding world, which in return will influence them. On a second level, the wall, which is the central element of the creation, symbolizes the duality that humans create naturally as a unique source of reflection and landmark. Therefore, the wall is first and foremost the materialization of our behavior, stretched between psychological border and building of constant antagonisms. A wall implies beginnings and ends. It rises, steep, insurmountable, paradoxical.
A wall protects, a wall conceals, separates, shuts away. It is forcing us to make decisions, either assigning us to stay in the spot that we would like to overcome, or inviting us to move elsewhere. On the other side, maybe freedom. A wall reveals fears and desires. A failure to pass or an opening to a journey, a side leaning toward the past, the other toward the future, the temptation to break through the walls is also mingled with the apprehension of what will be found behind.
The wall separates, however, if we pay attention, we hear sounds, voices:
“Is there someone on the other side?”
Dos au mur exists in two versions :
- a 25 minute version, created in February 2018 (Suresnes Cité Danse Festival)
- a 55 minute version, created in March 2019 (Théâtre de La Manufacture in Saint Quentin)
