SOUS INFLUENCE

How do we materialise what norms our perceptions? And what are the limits that a woman cannot cross, even today?

Sous Influence is a creation between theatre and urban dance which is freely inspired by Cassavetes' films to explore the fragile boundary between norm and representation. Under the influence of a device that becomes an enclosure, a couple of actors and Krump dancers confront each other and duplicate themselves through a game of reflections. Only the children's dancing gaze can free them from the violence of such an influence.
