Sous le poids des plumes at Theatre Raymond Kabbaz

“Sous le poids des plumes”  
Wednesday, May 1st at 8:00pm 
Gates at 7pm for cash bar and baguette sandwiches.

Four hip-hop dancers use the poetry of their bodies to plunge us into a dreamlike world where their different memories of life collide. A succession of playlets, like so many images from daily life, sweet, funny and cheeky, combining dance, burlesque, physical theater and object manipulation. That dusty, forgotten old trunk that we reopen after so many years. Its contents, recalling happy memories, forgotten or buried deep within us, as if erased. They become damaged, mottled, like feathers escaping our grasp. Are we really sure we remember?

This performance tells a visual fable that resembles a daydream, dotted with insignificant obstacles and moments of grace.
