In this latest creation, choreographer Jeanne Brouaye continues her exploration of possible worlds, this time drawing inspiration from the work of sociologist Geneviève Pruvost. Interweaving feminism, ecology and self-sufficiency, Pruvost highlights the revolutionary power of everyday gestures. (M)other unfolds through the story of Cristal, a woman who loses custody of her daughter on the grounds that she lives in a yurt – a shift in perspective that opens up the kinds of alternatives imagined by the sociologist. Performed by five artists, somewhere between tale and fantasy, (M)other is a poetic journey that blends dance, storytelling, music and visual art. Here, dance becomes cathartic, joyful and furious, and sparks visions: glimpses of a world already in motion, seeking a way out of the violence of capitalism.
