A temporary collective of three performers investigates how corporeal and oral processes are transmitted through the immateriality and the common imaginary based on several dance practices. Based on actions of interpretation, adaptation or contamination of their practices, performers revisit and transform their experiential archives into choreographies, fictions or demonstrations, and summon the public toan injunction space between complicity and contemplation.
