" 5'33" seconds  2008

"5'33 seconds" a solo 

How to do a solo if you are never alone with yourself? how to do a solo if you are yourself already several people? Coming back to the canonical form of the contemporary dance "Five minutes thirty three" is emphasize the paradoxes and the absurdity.
While the work seems to be foremost an interior dialogue, we could realise very fast that there are more people on stage that we could believe when this sentence is said: "She is wondering how many gestures and persons she has in the mind."
We could discover later that the work is articulated around the way back of the individual and the group, in between inclusion and exclusion of the gaze.
The solitude here is a dynamical force, necessary for the making of the individual.
