The students of La Manufacture, University of Performing Arts, had just begun working with Mathilde Monnier on their graduation creation when the health crisis brought everything to a halt. A whole class made invisible because of the virus… ADC and Antigel festival sought to resume and showcase this work with students who have since become young professional dancers. The creation focuses on air and time, on this vital, political and poetic invisible-ness which holds our inner as well as our outer life. A Dance Climax, or a means to understand how to live in the air, as earthlings.
