“Siguifin”: four choreographers craft a grimoire of choreographic wonder

A frontal or profile line emerges in the calm of body percussion; this very Laban-inspired choral dance is reinforced by the lines of the costumes, reminiscent of choreographic notation or a Mondrian composition. Pauses allow for breath and stillness. The leader of the troupe gives voice and direction with clear, commanding authority. (…) A comic dimension is fully embraced, claimed in this epic, an odyssey of Africa in vibrant motion. With both detachment and distinction, the choreography is strong, precise, and variable, as in a brief, clever robotic episode made of disjointed puppets. In the epilogue, a cohesive image of a heterogeneous group comes together to celebrate rhythm and the joy of the collective!
