In Smoke, Philippe Saire’s seventh Dispositif, David Zagari crafts a spellbinding dialogue with smoke—an unpredictable, ever-changing presence that shifts from delicate and ephemeral to powerful and unruly. The performance introduces a surreal world where a giant rabbit on the run gives way to the revelation of the human beneath the fur, trapped in a mesmerizing, dreamlike mental space. Partnering with smoke, a symbol of volatility and transformation, the dancer explores themes of visibility, identity, and the poetic challenge of embracing the unpredictable.
