Ayaka Nakama
Freeway Dance
23 - 24 Oct 2021
The event is over
For her latest creation, Freeway Dance, Ayaka Nakama asked friends – her neighbour, her father and friends – to relate their first memories of dance. Based on these discussions the artist imagined a choreography in which she reconstitutes with her own body the movements from the past of the others.
Ayaka Nakama situates this dance in a garden she shares with the public during the representation. The stage of the Grande Salle is transformed into a surprising and lush vegetal microcosm where the public are accorded freedoms that are unusual in theatre: they can move about, sit down, play on a swing, read. This form of freedom, grasped and expressed through dance, gives rise to unexpected encounters between individuals, between past and present, between nature and nurture.
Before each representation the public receive an email asking them to send a song associated with one of their memories, a dance or a journey by car. In accordance with the principle of transmission, the dances of other people are performed on the memories of the spectators gathered together in the room.
