A BEGINNING is a journey from darkness to light. It’s a piece for 5 dancers/singers equipped with portable lights who we hear breathing, walking and talking. They explore the relationship between movement, voice and light. Where choreography meets musical composition, this piece dissociates the body that sings from the body that moves.

They develop a physical and movement practice that allows them to embody two movements in a single body; the movement that sounds (singing) and the movement that is seen. A beginning #16161D constructs a theatrical narrative about the eternal dialectic between the individual and the collective, in order to imagine new ways of relating.A BEGINNING is the story of an inception. A scenic intuition about an uncertain future, an invitation to a world of imagination where notions of space and time are altered, and the boundaries between bodies are blurred.
