Yellow - We're halfway there. We are almost there : sunshine, joy, encounters, sprouting sunflowers, a banana and boxes pave the way. Here, yellow unfolds in attempts and journeys, in different approaches to a sparkling, touching relationship. The ideas of color, peeled away during the research phase, take substance in movement and in the duo's childlike relationship, taking shape in a play of simple, vividly evocative objects and movement.
The time of the piece serves as a poetic mirror of everyday life, with yellow articulating its construction. The space is constructed and deconstructed as boxes are superimposed, aligned or overturned. The scenography illustrates a narrative, sometimes abstract, sometimes grotesque, in which we express our moods and feelings with vulnerability and resilience.We wanted to express the “hidden” and discouraging side of young adult life that we experience on a daily basis, and we linked this to the sometimes suffocating positivity of yellow. Dance becomes a response to our happiness and pain.It's said that giving a yellow rose is a gesture of friendship. We offer you our first piece, YELLOW We're Halfway There, to take you on a cathartic journey through abstraction, humor and ingenuity.
