Limbo – Suzanne Degennaro + Out/Side – Mwendwa Marchand
In cooperation with the TNB – Théâtre National de Bretagne
Double bill: two first creations, two ways of living the in-between.
With Limbo, Suzanne Degennaro explores a state of suspension — neither departure nor arrival, a troubled zone where one inhabits doubt, like a fault line. Rooted in whacking, a dance born in a queer club in Los Angeles, she gives body to intersex experience and takes aim at the abuses of Western medicine. Flamboyant and suspended, Limbo is a silent cry, a party held in abeyance: a dance of the edge, of disorder, and of unruly beauty.
Mwendwa Marchand’s first piece, Out/Side questions the place of dancehall on institutional stages. Drawn from a long outdoor practice, she explores with Carl Dhélot and Déhiti Akato the sensations and textures of body that the outside leaves as a legacy: what open space does to creativity, to gesture, to relationships with others. On stage, this essence doesn’t fade: it’s passed on, becoming shared matter.
