The choreographers Salia Sanou and Seydou Boro have chosen to entrust their choreographic piece Figninto (l’oeil troué) to three young dancers and choreographers that they themselves trained. In this way, the transmission takes on a double meaning.
In a stripped-down setting, the movement of the dance highlights the notion of human fragility. Torn between unbridled accumulation of material objects and the passing of time, people no longer talk to each other. Their eyes do not see what is essential. The values that underlie the capacity for living together go down the drain: the possibilities for encounter, friendship, love. Figninto dramatizes this vulnerability of man. On stage, the sweaty bodies are drawn into a dazzling and energetic dance. The bodies struggle, fall, contort themselves, crash into each other. Each body moves in space, in manifest solitude, but it does not resist the temptation of meeting up with another for long. A dialogue ensues between the bodies, in which each brusque gesture of the one provokes a reaction from the other.
