Conceptual remark

The genetics of the project

The new creation of the compagnie 7273 is a group piece arranged for 6 dancers. After the spherical and self-centered concept of Romance-s in 2009, the group appears, in the first instance, to be returning to an open space, as with a new beginning. This approach also expresses the desire of transmission and the transcription of knowledge into other bodies, not taking into account the effects of loss or transformation inherited in any relay. Last but not least, the group allows an approach to the question of unity and being together. [more]
