Amala Dianor choreographs “Coquilles”, a beautiful and captivating encounter between a praying mantis and a baby gorilla.

“Two bodies, two characters on the path to encounter: Amala Dianor finds the right tone to offer very young audiences the possibility of a curious and open gaze on the world, open to experience.”

“Watching these animals dance is ultimately to witness the expression of a humanity free from any other bias of perception. And while dance does all the work, the choreographer has not neglected the visual universe: a few umbrellas, a few confetti pieces, and a playful environment comes to life, leading bodies to break the boundaries of styles, ultimately paying tribute to the great American musicals.”
