The Giant Ferris Wheel // Compagnie Pied en Sol
The new creation of the company Pied en Sol is inspired by the Rond de Saint-Vincent. This dynamic, hypnotic, communal and solar dance is a real collective trance. Of great simplicity and depth, it is also anchored in the earth. She traditionally danced to relax a week’s work, and at weddings.
Six dancers inspired by different aesthetics (contemporary, traditional, hip-hop dance, etc.) are accompanied by the powerful voice of Mathieu Hamon and the music of Wenceslas Hervieux. Their hands join, their feet strike the ground in rhythm, a circle is formed and then undone. The choreographic language touches by its simplicity and depth. Movements that seem familiar to us are here composed, recomposed, in a word: reinvented. The circle rotates in the direction of the clock, placing the dancers before the successive cycles of life.
