LES CHAMBRES DES JACQUES establishes a form of dialogue between the choreographer and dancers, an almost interactive exploration, focused on a human dimension that oscillates between daily life and the grotesque, the banal and the unexpected. This choreography was hailed by the critics and the public during its recent international tour. In order to let « real life » exude from the performers bodies, Aszure Barton says that she transformed the dance studios into a true asylum of peace, or of madness, or battle. Such a place, open to all possibilities, could allow for the emergence of a raw, authentic matter, both intimate and universal. Exploring all forms and shapes of the individual down to the roots of her animal physicality, Aszure Barton has interwoven her piece with the personal habits and styles which she has observed among dancers, details which make up their individual personalities, and those marvelous little imperfections which speak of the beauty and fragility of being.
