Exclusion, transformation, disappearance… What are the effects of civilisation on the human body? Dancers and choreographers Mathilde Monnier and La Ribot explore this question through dance, accompanied by Tiago Rodrigues’s poetic language. In the middle of a gym that has been destroyed by a nuclear accident, two women dance. They have created figures (poet, elf or cockroach) that translate the institution’s effects on the body, whether it is a zoo, prison, dance centre, hospital, church, or the army.
