LES SOLS
"And what if everything was already there, and that the path towards spectatorhood was not to educate the eye, but simply to preserve it throughout the growth? ''
Children from 0 to 3 years old dream twice as much as adults. While sleeping, they process the density of information that they discover daily. It is also said that babies are born with an almost perfect pitch and with a very developed sense of smell. What a great time to interact creatively!
Les Sols was born from the desire to create a suspended time within the Parent-Child relationship and within the community of spectators; the performers are sending collection of choreographed postcards adressed to the senses of the young spectators. Consisting of shapes, colors...these cards invite their natural sensitivity towards the materials presented, as well as the comfort in moving and interacting together.
