This year, the "On y danse" show will be taking on a new dimension, over the whole year, with some wonderful choreographic twists, really up to the minute!
Rushing Stillness questions our relationship with time. In an era when men are speeding up their already hectic schedules, Marielle Morales invites us to stop what we are doing for a moment and reflect. Her focus is on slowing down, and plays on our perceptions of the world. Rushing Stillness is inspired by the works of the US video director Bill Viola.
As she mixes in the worlds of dance, fine art and theatre, Marielle Morales creates routines which really capture the atmosphere, in which form is minimised and polished to a tee, and in which the body is pushed to specific, necessary limits, thus producing choreographic style in a class of its own, with astonishing bodily density and semiology.
Her ZAAR, B.U.R. and Un gouffre sous l’épaule routines may be seen at a variety of festivals in Belgium, France, England, Greece and Spain. For B.U.R., she received the Best Female Interpreter Prize at the ACT Festival in Bilbao in 2010. The Le Pli routine (Le Futur n’était pas comme ça), co-created in 2011 with Antía Díaz, won her the Best Stage Set Prize at the BE Festival in 2011.
