Cutting Through the Noise is an energetic journey, an exaltation through the body and the music, perpetual waves of liberating states, an affirmation of identities in flux, embodied by a generous group of dancers. While this work was created during the second year of the pandemic, the pleasure of dancing became an act of collective resilience.

Onstage, 8 performers engage in a complex partition of walks towards the audience, caught in a loop of transformations. A playlist inspired by EBM (electronic body music) evokes the energy of a club and propels the persistent forward motion. At the heart of this choreography can be felt a certain nostalgia, an electric youth, a manifestation from a post-internet generation in search of emancipation.
