[Pedestrian dancer]

In a work that moves between dance and cinema, Maroussia Vossen engages in dialogue with works of the directors Chris Marker and Jaques Dutoit in particular.

This work gives the audience the chance to enter the poetic universe of an artist for whom “there is only one step between walking and dancing” and who has always been motivated by her encounters with the other arts. In this work she will engage in dialogue with the works of the directors Chris Marker and Jaques Dutoit in particular.

In addition to the cat Djaleng from Paleodia, the soloist also brings along the pianist Mauro Coceano, with whom she improvises, on this journey, in a set designed by Michelle Knoblauch.
