SOLOS
KAORI ITO
TJP CDN STRASBOURG
Four solos, one solo in four inner eras, four women or one multi-faceted woman...
SoloS explores intense moments in the lives of female figures, captured in a moment of intimacy and abandonment, when they are as if out of this world. Oscillating between strength and fragility, they venture from one painting to the next in a search for self that is always counterbalanced by curiosity about the world and each other.
Kaori Ito's whimsical and mischievous imaginary world unfolds in a dance that is by turns sensual, nervous and obstinate.
SoloS was born of her experience as a dancer who has always been directed by men, such as Philippe Decouflé, Angelin Preljocaj, Alain Platel, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and James Thierrée. Kaori Ito wanted to offer another, and perhaps more feminine, complement to the masculine vision of women she had embodied until then...
