In Boris Charmatz’s 'La Ronde', 16 dancers form a kind of implicit society: an intersectional and plural society, with male-female, male-male, female-female duets, of different ages and dance styles in all its forms and practices. In this piece, two opposites are at work: closure in the figure of the duet, and the infinite openness of the chain which moves and goes through the bodies. A fragile intimate form that endures. The dramaturgy is a dance in which the couples never close themselves off, always encountering one another, making a human chain, like a chain of transmission. Not like the transmission of a virus, but one of humanity, of touch ... ‘La Ronde’ is a human loop of dancing, singing and speaking duos. A collective momentum, an explosion of love. The time has come to meet one another again!
