As part of 50th anniversary celebrations of Moroccan immigration in Belgium, Fanny Brouyaux presented a dance performance for 5 Belgian and Moroccan dancers. 

 

In the heart of an incessant hubbub, a few gestures. Like an uncontrollable struggle that gets out of control. It is a noise, like a spreading rumor, a deafening urgency. With their feet nailed to the ground, each contaminated dancer repeats the gesture on their own, transforms it, amplifies it.
Little by little, the bodies become free, invade the space, metamorphose the danced rumor and thus reveal each performer's individual sensitivity. Fascinated by the mechanism of spreading rumors, Fanny Brouyaux reflects here on the destructive impact they can have, the fantasies they can arouse.

 

"How can a silent medium, such as dance, symbolize the impact of words, the ideas they peddle, the noise they make? As information has never circulated as quickly as in our time, I wanted to slow down and really question what our words, our actions, our gestures generate as well as their consequences. I wanted to launch a choreographic rumor marked by our sensitive and contrasting experiences..."
