The solo observes anti-heroic representations, like the villain of the Romantic ballet whose figure the performer invokes. She extends the spectrum to the non-human, and is assimilated to the so-called “harmful” or “invasive” species. Inspired by these creatures on the fringes, she sets off in search of a poetics of impure and fantastic figures. The performance is a journey towards the activation of these real or fantasised presences.

Becoming harmful, sabotaging, corrupting, and enjoying the struggle. Transformation is a never-ending process, offered up by the flow of identities.

Les Héritier⋅x (The heirs) is a trio performed by dancers Évo Mine Lambillon and Pierre Piton, and renaissance flutist and electronic musician Stélios Lazarou.

The performance observes Orchésographie, the first manual of dance and choreographic writing, produced by Thoinot Arbeau (1588). It presents the most complete corpus of dances practiced in the 16th century.

The performance seeks to revive the Renaissance ballroom by revealing what goes through these dances. They are interpreted beyond their codified script and human boundaries.
