Dreamy choreography between fantasy and reality

Planet[wanderer] is the intriguing result of a collaboration between choreographer Damien Jalet and scenographer Kohei Nawa. Both have a fascination for transforming shapes in space. In this work they confront the bodies of the eight dancers with the materials and textures of the scenography and thus create a story of the visceral bond between people and planet. Their bodies move back and forth like reeds, in a fragile balance between power and vulnerability, harmony and survival, destruction and evolution.
