La Tendresse du ventre de la baleine

A healing show where eight dancers, all dressed in blue, envelop the audience in a collective, tender, hypnotic, and liberating wave!

A blue wave, like a unifying movement, flows through the audience in creative gentleness. Where pulse and rhythm become the vital forces of a piece of dance, music, and above all, relationships. An act of sharing, sensory and free.

Géraldine Chollet choreographs transforming relationships, envisioning dance as a means to create connection, care, and solidarity. Hence the idea of tenderness when she freely draws inspiration from the myth of Jonah, who travels through the sea in the belly of a whale.

Jonah is eventually spat out with fragments of a forgotten dance within him/her: the dance of joy, whose deep resonances Chollet explores in each individual.

This immemorial memory invites sharing and openness, as Jonah's journey is evoked in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic scriptures. And the encounter is there.

The audience takes its place in a square space to be surrounded and even traversed by eight dancers, all dressed in blue and arriving in waves, between delicacy and frenzy, accompanied by a guitarist-singer and a DJ.

Winner of the Swiss Performing Arts Award, Géraldine Chollet invites an intense sensory experience that allows the exploration of our deepest inner whirlwinds.
