Pillowgraphies answers a yearning for lightness. It attempts to escape gravity and unfold a dance in which the body dissolves into a soft, buoyant figure — a ghost. The performance plunges into a nocturnal, joyful world where floating replaces walking, sliding becomes movement and walking turns absurd. The company invites playful participation after the show, opening the stage for collective dancing and shared, exuberant moments.

In French.

Expect quiet snips, bright shapes and playful shadows that shift when you move.
