Marlene Monteiro Freitas / Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon
With a tennis net, scoreboard, and whistles, the stage is set for a match that will never take place. Drawing on the carnival heritage of her childhood in Cape Verde, Marlene Monteiro Freitas subverts the rules. Canine Jaunâtre 3 becomes a child’s game, where 17 identical dancers, with numbered bibs and cartoon-like faces, are subjected to contradictory rules. Create, destroy, move, reverse: these magnificent, interchangeable virtuosos, without apparent purpose, lead humanity into an uncertain realm where boundaries between humans, animals, and machines blur, leading the viewers to challenge their comfortable perceptions.
