COMPAGNIE BURNOUT / JANN GALLOIS

Thanks to their great originality and sensitivity, each of Jann Gallois’ pieces hit the mark – and this eleventh opus is no exception. This artist, introduced to hip-hop dance in the streets as a teenager, returned to the roots of her art after long months of isolation due to the pandemic. She has created In Situ as close as possible to her audience, in this public space where – long before the existence of dedicated venues – the first forms of representation were born. The goal? To bring a suspended moment that breaks the routine of everyday life to the people, where they are. The piece, designed to be visible to all, unfolds in interaction with its specific environment. Imposing one’s presence outside of the marked spaces of the theatre stage, creating the balance between place, movement and perception, however, must involve the usual components of creation. To the music of Charles Amblard, dancers invite us to reconnect with “being together”, while awakening a joy that burns within each of us.
