canicular

Choreographer Rebecca Journo invites sound artist Diane Barbé for a performance based on the song of cicadas. Triggered by the vibration of their membranes, their singing the evolution of the temperature to become an indicator of heat. Immersing herself in this microcosm, Rebecca Journo returns with images of women-insects and hallucinatory droughts. With Diane Barbé’s psychedelic modulations as a backdrop, her dance revives our charred bodies. 

Acompasar la coreografía y la música experimental con el canto de las cigarras para subrayar la paradoja del verano, un estado entre bienestar, ociosidad y estado canicular.
