This poetic performance presents on stage trace, dance, words of poems, sonorities, rhythms and live music.
Two artists question their language. The stage opens onto a world imbued with calligraphy, danced movement, sonorities, voices of poems, in a play of refined dialogues, an inspiration of one to the other, a continuous reinterpretation from one towards the other, where the essential acts, visible and invisible, are lived and invented at the heart of the moment, in the fragility of the traces.
It is the encounter between two passionate artists. The trace reveals itself in the poetry of gesture and the energy of improvisation.

Paper crossed by light
Ink trace
The brush as a sign tracer
Written in the energy of gesture
Breathed breath
In the voice of the poem
Living musicality
Dance movement creating space
Where time folds, stretches, weaves
Poetry is spoken
The body is written
