Semâ, the dance of the whirling dervishes, gives the title to this new production, third step of a journey exploring the laws that regulate group movement and the collective awareness of gestures in space. A creation that returns to live music and choreography for organic, flexible and fluid formations.

After the productions Flow (Swiss Dance Prize 2019) e Cosmos the choreographers Katarzyna Gdaniec e Marco Cantalupo pursue their collaboration with the musician Mathias Delplanque, associated this time with percussionist Philippe Foch, a versatile musician and “crosser of territories” of traditional, improvised and electroacoustic music.

With this electro-traditional and fiercely imaginative duo, Compagnie Linga plays once again with the alchemy that is created through improbable artistic encounters, and the living interdependence, constantly to be rebuilt, of the dancer and the musician, of the melody and the gesture.
