Choreographed by Trajal Harrell, M2M reimagines a crossing of postmodern Judson Church minimalism with the exuberant voguing balls of Harlem. Conceived for three dancers, the piece fuses formal restraint and performative flamboyance, foregrounding jazz, funk and R&B inflections within an improvisational dance language. Harrell’s staging negotiates historical narrative and speculative fiction, shifting between precise postmodern phrasing and vivid gesture to evoke community, desire and the politics of movement.

Directed by Céline Goormaghtigh and written by Anne Berest, LA VISITE probes maternal instinct with sharp humour and urgent intensity. In a compact domestic setting, a young mother at the limits of endurance confronts visitors while her defenses dissolve; a trio of actresses whirl and collide, delivering a caustic torrent of language and revealing movement. The work explores ‘matraissance’—the birth of motherhood—balancing lucidity, rage and tenderness to unsettle familiar myths about maternal bliss.
