Fragiles Apparitions – variations in 3 songs est un rituel en trois parties qui explore le soft power de l’éphémère. Entre carapaces textiles et organes souples, architectures de films de savon et reflets miroirs, la performance-installation se déploie dans une atmosphère immersive et sensorielle où les formes tremblent, se dissolvent et réapparaissent.

Composée de trois chants en dialogue, l’œuvre s’articule en trois mouvements interconnectés où la danse, la matière et la musique live s’unissent. Chaque chant révèle un état de transformation différent : la délicatesse du vivant, la lenteur des métamorphoses et la persistance du toucher comme acte de résistance.

Fruit d’un long processus de recherche, Fragiles Apparitions réunit la pratique collaborative de Sarah Wendt et Pascal Dufaux, à la croisée de la chorégraphie, de la sculpture, du son et de l’installation. Leur recherche explore la viscosité et le comportement des matériaux — films de savon, miel, textiles et formes sculpturales hybrides — en relation avec le corps en mouvement et sa perception sensorielle. Dans cette rencontre entre corps et matière, mouvement et image, la performance offre une expérience hypnotique et tactile — un hommage à la fragilité, à l’interdépendance et à la précarité du vivant.

🗓 : 9 au 13 février
Les représentations du 12 et 13 février seront accompagnées d'un surtitrage codé en français pour les personnes sourdes et malentendantes.

Fragiles Apparitions – variations in 3 songs is a three-part ritual that explores the soft power of the ephemeral. Between textile carapaces and soft organs, architectures of soap films and mirror reflections, this performance-installation envelops us in an immersive, sensorial environment where forms tremble, dissolve, and reappear.

Structured as three songs in dialogue, the work moves through three interconnected movements in which dance, matter, and live music merge. Each song traces a different state of transformation—revealing the delicacy of the living, the slowness of metamorphosis, and the persistence of touch as an act of resistance.

The result of an extended research process, Fragiles Apparitions brings together the collaborative practice of Sarah Wendt and Pascal Dufaux, whose work bridges choreography, sculpture, sound, and installation. Their research explores the viscosity and behaviour of materials—soap films, honey, textiles, and hybrid sculptural forms—in relation to the moving body and its sensory perception. In this encounter between bodies and materials, movement and image, the performance offers a hypnotic, tactile experience—an homage to fragility, interdependence, and the precariousness of life.

🗓: February 9 to 13
The performances on February 12 and 13 will be accompanied by French subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
