K.I.S - Kube In Street
Pièce en trois parties filmée lors du Leu Tempo Festival 2014 : "l'élan", "l'abeille" et "l'araignée" offrent le regard de Soraya Thomas sur la période de l'adolescence. En proie aux rêves et aux bouleversements les plus incongrus, l'artiste évolue au sein d'un cube de plexiglas transparent disposé au milieu d'un espace public. En s'approchant, les spectateurs entrent dans une intimité bercée par la musique de Yann Costa, qui travaille les voix de lycéens réunionnais. L'artiste interroge la jeunesse et le regard qu'on lui porte, "l'âge bête" ou l'âge de tous les possibles.
Qu'est ce qu'être jeune, sinon rêver d'être adulte ? Dans une série de trois solos mis en musique, la danseuse et chorégraphe Soraya Thomas donne corps aux rêves et aux bouleversements intimes de l'adolescence.
Crée au contact et avec la collaboration d'élèves du lycée Amiral Bouvet à Saint-Benoît, cette relecture mouvementée de la construction d'un adulte donne corps aux questionnements intimes qui ont traversé chacun d'entre nous. De l'universel à petite échelle.

Soraya Thomas (La Reunion, France)
Trained at the Conservatoire d'Annecy (direction: Jean-Marc Boitière), Soraya Thomas obtained her State Diploma in dance education in 2000, before joining the company Coline, professional insertion cell for young contemporary dancers. There she met Jeanclaude Gallotta, Michel Kéléménis and Myriam Burns, for whom she took on roles. In 2002, she arrived at La Réunion where she met the choreographer Eric Languet. With him, she participated in the projects Interludes, Faux-ciels and L'Esprit et la ruche, and danced in Chemins faisant, On était tous là pour s'aider et Somewhere, out there, life was screaming. In 2007, she performed her first choreography in William Shakespeare’s Le Songe d'une nuit d'été for the Sakidi company, before signing her first play.
Morphose Company
Created by Soraya Thomas in 2011 in La Réunion, the company Morphose places contemporary dance, the sound universe and the intersection of artistic disciplines at the center of its projects. She explores the link between intimate space and public space in a work of choreographic creation based on the centre, succession, relationship to the other and space. The urban space and the street are the place of the daily contemporary movement, so dear to the choreographer. The process is to give them back what they offer us every day: inspiration. We dance on the asphalt that we walk every day without paying attention to it, here we tell with the bodies. The bodies work in volume, anchorage and ability to react with everyday life. Each of Morphose’s creations involves talented performers and creators. Their collaboration gives rise to singular works where the work consists in bringing societal questions to the stage. It is a question of starting from the real, from the concrete, to tend towards a choreographic and aesthetic transposition. It results from strong and living pieces, in which humanity is at the heart of artistic purpose. Dance is purely and simply an art of the living, it touches the intimate and makes it universal. The energies speak for themselves. With duality, poetry, humanity and animality, through a streamlined movement, the Morphose dance tells us about life, about others with others, and takes us into a spiral as rock as delicate, to offer a dance to the public, and to deposit on these common places, for a moment, another look.
