"Paysage" follows the journey of four dancers on the move. They have left their cocoons and set out on a journey across the world, out of their comfort zones, and lose themselves in a territory without clear boundaries.

With Paysage, Julien Carlier connects two practices: his choreographic writing and photography. His primary sources of inspiration are images of grand landscapes, within which the presence of individuals at different scales can be distinguished: nomads, climbers overlooking cliffs, or elusive silhouettes. The relationship between photography and dance manifests through ideas of framing, image composition, perspectives, as well as the question of the spectators’ distance in relation to the action. 

The choreographic work will explore the action of traversing a space and how a body evolves in an unknown territory. Significant importance will be given to time, which stretches and physically marks itself in the dance. The gestures, endlessly repeated by the performers, will immerse them in a collective emotion. Through the idea of walking together—side by side, in single file, or dispersed—the dance also questions the role of the group, creating a common foundation, a living architecture in constant motion. At the heart of this exploration are also the notions of challenge and self-transcendence, bringing forth a blend of forces and inherent fragilities in our human condition.
