Alone in a mirror factory, a man paints strange patterns on his body. Questioning his reflections, he loses touch with reality. So the evil that consumes him talks through his body which begins to move, dance, contort. Slowly he's falling apart, teetering between madness and lucidity.

Seul dans une fabrique de miroirs, un homme peint d'étranges motifs sur son corps. Interrogeant ses réflexions, il perd le contact avec la réalité. Alors le mal qui le consume parle à travers son corps qui se met à bouger, danser, se contorsionner. Lentement, il s'effondre, oscillant entre folie et lucidité.

Traverse highlights the power of five women through various collective experiences, one at the crossroads of dance, movement and voice, in a unity of experience that illustrates a journey that is not personal, but collective. This initiative unfolds in natural and artificial structures such as an ancient massive wall, stairs carved in stone, a perilous bridge: places that these women occupy and cross. In this way, they discover openings and links, and meet strangers on similar journeys. The film stands out for its original cinematography. 



Traverse souligne la puissance de cinq femmes à travers diverses expériences collectives, un au croisement de la danse, du mouvement et de la voix, dans une unité d’expérience qui illustre un parcours non pas personnel, mais collectif. Cette initiative se déploie dans des structures naturelles et artificielles telles un ancien mur massif, des escaliers gravés dans la pierre, un pont périlleux : des lieux que ces femmes occupent et traversent. Elles découvrent ainsi des ouvertures et des liens, et rencontrent des inconnus engagés dans parcours semblable. Le film se distingue par sa cinématographie originale.

The short film Carolina seeks to identify the place that Carolina Teixeira occupies in the social-political-cultural context in which we live. Framing this woman is giving visibility to countless women, northeastern Brazilians, artists, and disabled people in Brazil. From your point of view we can perceive a different world. Or the best translation of her world would be the dance that she carries in her relationship with space, matter, movement, in her own day life choreography?

Le court-métrage Carolina cherche à identifier la place qu'occupe Carolina Teixeira dans le contexte social, politique et culturel dans lequel nous vivons. Encadrer cette femme, c'est donner de la visibilité à d'innombrables femmes, à des Brésiliens du nord-est, à des artistes et à des personnes handicapées au Brésil. De votre point de vue, nous pouvons percevoir un monde différent. Ou la meilleure traduction de son monde serait la danse qu'elle porte dans son rapport à l'espace, à la matière, au mouvement, dans sa propre chorégraphie de vie quotidienne ?

A dance film dedicated to the architecture and urban scenery of Hong Kong, the incredible busy metropolitan and the prototype of numerous sci-fi films, in a poetic and abstract way. The cinematography and editing emphasize the structure of spaces in a graphical style. The dancer interacts with the extreme high skyline and narrow living spaces via solo dance. Without clearly showing her facial emotion and her real character, she presents the stress, the anxiety and the coldness from this dystopia city.

Un film dansé consacré à l'architecture et au paysage urbain de Hong Kong, l'incroyable métropole animée et le prototype de nombreux films de science-fiction, d'une manière poétique et abstraite. La cinématographie et le montage mettent en valeur la structure des espaces dans un style graphique. Le danseur interagit avec la ligne d'horizon extrêmement haute et les espaces de vie étroits par le biais d'une danse en solo. Sans montrer clairement son émotion faciale et son vrai caractère, elle présente le stress, l'anxiété et la froideur de cette ville dystopique.

"It is through movement that one appropriates one's own life. By the freedom to come and go, to make gestures of love, of anger, whatever. When you are deprived of movement as I am, if you want to survive, you have to reinvent movement differently". Benoît Labaye.


"C'est par le mouvement qu'on s'approprie sa propre vie. Par la liberté d'aller, de venir, d'avoir des gestes d'amour, de colère, peu importe. Quand on est privé de mouvement comme je le suis, si on veut survivre, il faut réinventer le mouvement autrement". Benoît Labaye.
