Komposition is a choreographic work on 'dancing together' that provides subtle insights into the cooperation of the dancers Marianne Baillot, Alix Eynaudi, Anne Juren and Agata Maszkiewicz. It is a subtle group exploration of combinations, or rather, fusions. The combative nature of tenderness, the ambiguity and naturalness of emotion, the subversion and incorporation of values beyond polarities, suggest an all-gender identity, regardless of judgment. The performers underline their differences without erecting a comparison. They encounter and touch each other, dance together, consolidate gestures, until they are surprised by their own activity.
