Pillowgraphies

Pillowgraphies answers a desire for lightness. An attempt to escape gravity, to move towards a dance in which the body dissolves in favour of a figure as light as it is soft: the ghost.

The desire to plunge into a nocturnal, joyful world where all you have to do is float to stay upright, glide to move, and where walking becomes absurd. The desire to breathe in a scent of freedom. To play again. To be a ghost and come back to life. Obviously.

After the show, the company invites you to leave your seats and join the theatre stage to plunge into the artifice of Pillowgraphies. Come play at being a ghost and dance together, in the flesh! Guided by the company's artists, you'll be swept into a joyful, offbeat, high-energy world. Remember to wear white or fluorescent clothing: it will be your best ally for glowing under the black light…
