In The One who leaves is not gone, Thalia Pigier travels through space and time, through History and personal stories. She takes us from Jerusalem to Rio de Janeiro, via El Dorado. On stage, paper airplanes draw an intimate cartography, where family anecdotes and scientific fun facts intertwine. The piece is built on a hyperlink’s dramaturgy, working like a Wikipedia page, jumping from one blue word to the next one, leaving all the tabs opened for the audience to weave them as they wish.
What’s left from the places we’ve been and the people we’ve met ? What remains of the starting point as we move through the world?
What is this dance that I dance?
Embracing the topics of cultural legacy, body’s memory and the rewriting of our personal memories, Thalia Pigier creates an accessible dance piece accompanied on stage by the musician Suzanne Seiller.
