FLOWERS

After ten years of choreography and working in complex contexts, such as during the pandemic years, Edouard Hue seeks a new starting point in his choreographic writing by exploring forms he has yet to fully explore (jumps, turns, partnering). FLOWERS is an ode to the simplicity of shared moments, a time for friends to reunite, play, share, and find peace.

One duo focuses on the attraction between individuals, while another duo brings a wave of excitement to the stage. A trio combines the necessity of rising by supporting each other with an exploration of lifts. The dancers come together in a quartet that blossoms with their common desire to live and feel alive.

Flowers is a piece that brings smiles with its lightness, dramaturgical simplicity, and freshness. The playful, lively, and cheerful movements create a performance built in harmony with the performers. The piece exudes a continuous flow of emotions and movements across the space. Edouard Hue sees his dancers as buds blossoming to shine, nurtured by everything around them. With FLOWERS, the choreographer highlights the sense of pleasure and freedom through dance.
