French choreographer Mellina Boubetra proposes a conversation without words, only the instinctive movement of three women’s bodies accompanied by electronic music. She seeks introspection and the intimate self, revealed through physical dialogues and monologues onstage. Supported by rhythmic electronic music in constant evolution, the dialogue takes shape, the confrontation becomes more intense and the resonances become clearer. As identities are unveiled and fixed in this exchange, the vision of the self changes. Introspection arises simultaneously with the desire to recover possession of the interiority imposed to others, far-removed from automatic reaction.

“I seek to reproduce the sincerity of movement in its instinctive dimension, when it is neither expected nor meant to be seen”, explains the choreographer.
