UNTAMED
At the border between dance performance and rock show, Untamed is a performance on body instinct and letting go. Between visceral movements and emotional impulses, this piece, borrowing spontaneity, reminds us of the absolute power of the act of dancing. By playing with the light, bright, impulsive, and the musical pulse, in a raw and intense choreography, the dancers let themselves be carried to the sound of electric music. They soak up the atmosphere, let off steam, exteriorize themselves to the point of transcending dance.
