Plié, Tendu, Jeté…
Folded, Tight, Thrown…
To fold, to tighten, to throw. Or what these three verbs reflect of life.

Ruins…, questions the dual sense of the interpretation. As a thread and as a working base, this piece has three verbs which are borrowed from the dance technique “Folded, tightened, thrown”… The dramaturgical structure is made up of three parts constantly crossed by these three states: the acceptance of the situation / to fold, the tension / to be tightened and the refusal / to throw. Then it is possible to say that it is this piece stems from us to you, it stems from you to us and it tends to the universal. Or, how the corporal acting on stage in a situation of closed space can be the mirror of the life – yours and this one of every one – of the incapacity to live, to make things together. Whatever we make is a mistake.
