Clémentine and Lisard have worked together since 2017 in different companies and contexts and have been forming a common language that brings them together. They want to continue developing their collaboration, and explore various formats such as video dance, site-specific works, and pieces designed for both the street and theatre.
Their meeting point is their common interest in exploring bodily states that lead to the incarnation of images, characters, and stories. It is the relationship that their artistic proposals can generate with the audience that drives them to create. Through the teaching of their co-facilitated workshop, the Attentive Act, they are able to continue researching their shared practice.

Scotoma
Scotoma is a dance piece that speaks about attention. An invitation to reflect on what captures and directs it. Can we perceive what we overlook and notice what is hidden at first sight.
The piece invites us to observe the encounter of two people immersed in their own world. They will give each other a chance to discover other perspectives, allowing them to broaden their gaze towards what they didn’t know was there.
But will they really be able to appreciate it or will they end up losing sight of it?
