Une échappée de Julie Nioche

Welcome to where spaces transform and light creates magical landscapes. A dancer decides to travel from one world to another, taking us with her on her funny, musical and miraculously ingenious adventures. With all the magic of a simple gesture, Julie Nioche transports young and old into a unique fairyland.

It is a "burlesque fairy tale with almost nothing". More precisely, it tells the story of a dancer who, helped by a builder of spaces, moves from our world to another by reversing the ordinary logic.

After En Classe, aimed at 7 to 11 year olds, choreographer Julie Nioche continues her work for young audiences, this time addressing children from the age of two and a half. This ingenious and funny piece combines dance and objects to show a different reality. And in the line of the film L'Ordre des choses, made in 1987 by the Swiss visual artists Fischli and Weiss, it invents a place of poetic resistance. Deliberately sidestepping all rationality, its two performers invite young and old, to the sound of lively music, into an imaginary world peopled with light images. A beautiful escape, full of gentleness and change of scenery.
