Une échappée de Julie Nioche

Welcome to where spaces transform and light creates magical landscapes. A dancer decides to travel from one world to another, taking us with her on her funny, musical, miraculously ingenious adventures. With all the magic of a simple gesture, Julie Nioche transports young and old into a unique fairy tale.

It’s a “burlesque fairy tale with almost nothing”. More precisely, it’s the story of a dancer who, aided by a space constructor, moves from our world to another by overturning ordinary logic. After En Classe, aimed at 7 to 11-year-olds, choreographer Julie Nioche continues her work for young audiences, this time addressing children from two and a half years old. This ingenious and funny opus articulates dance and objects to reveal a different reality. And, in the vein of the film L’Ordre des choses, directed in 1987 by Swiss visual artists Fischli and Weiss, it invents a place of poetic resistance. Deliberately escaping all rationality, its two performers invite young and old, to the sound of catchy music, into an imagination populated by light images. A beautiful escapade, full of gentleness and a change of scenery.
