“ Colours are not harmless, quite the contrary. They convey codes, taboos and prejudices that we obey without realising it, and they have a variety of meanings that have a profound influence on our environment, our language and our imagination".

- Michel Pastoureau, The Little Book of Colours (Le petit livre des couleurs)

 

Colors shape and sculpt our daily lives, embodying symbolism and history. With PRISMA, we aim to create a manifesto of everyday life, exploring the intrinsic ambivalence of colors through the prism of the moving body. Our creative research focuses on color as a lens to question the codes of a constantly changing world.

 

PRISMA serves as a collective field of research, fostering diverse visions and collaborations. The works evolve through their relationships: from the spontaneity of yellow to the fluidity of blue and the subversion of red, utilizing the interplay of movement, sound, and space. Each creation invites us to examine our personal experiences of color, revealing its deep subjectivity and the intimate, political issues it encompasses. This exploration opens pathways for connection and dialogue.

 

PRISMA consists of three parts, each centered around a specific color. The first piece, YELLOW - We’re Halfway There, premiered in October 2021 at MJC Calonne in Sedan, France. The second chapter, BLUE, includes the full length show BLUE - Turning Tide, Blue on site a site-specific performance, and HABLÅ! for youth aged 4 and up. The final part, RED - Side by Side, features four artists: Amélie Roch and Rannhvi Mebius Jormin, along with musician-composers Jade Bussac Schwartz (saxophone, voice) and Nils Boyny (keyboards). RED explores music-dance relationships and improvisation, with the collective alternating between collaboration and confrontation to create a rich, multi-layered performance space.
