Corps Confiants

Created in 1996 as part of the Jeunesses musicales and recreated in 2016, the source of this piece for two dancers and one musician is contact improvisation. It develops, explains and sets out this very particular mechanism that Félicette Chazerand sums up as “appreciating the experience and mastering the dangers of gravity”.

Beyond the performance in its traditional sense, Corps Confiants is a danced encounter and performative experience. A language is developed live with a continuous reinvention of our senses, and thus it speaks to the soul as much as it does to the body.

Devised for everyone aged six and up, the performance invites each spectator to take an active look at movement, this whole of which he or she is part, experimenting with implementing risk and trust, with all the links possible between bodies that think, feel and act: drivers of art and of life.
