Compagnie Linga / Katarzyna Gdaniec, Marco Cantalupo, "flow"
flow is inspired by the astonishing performance of animal’s group movements, such as shoals of fish, flocks of birds or swarms of insects. These flexible and fluid formations, capable of modifying immediately their speed and their direction without losing space coherence, question the laws of interactions which act between the various members of a group and the coordination of their movements; they suggested us new choreographic dynamics based on the collective consciousness of the movements in the space.
With a musical score expressly composed and played live, we imagined for our dancers and for the public an in full discharge, original and jubilant kinaesthetic experience.

Keda – created by Mathias Delplanque and E’ Jong-Ju in 2010. In their work they confront the ancestral tones of the geomungo with textures, rhythms and processings of electronic music. Their creations stand out as an original musical form inspired by the blues, by the African sounds, by the ambient and by the noise etc. Keda published one album, Hwal, and occurs regularly in concerts, in particular to the Quai Branly Museum in 2013.
