Confronted with the duality of the world — brought sharply into focus during the height of the Covid crisis — Lila Magnin's new creation explores how the abrupt changes around us affect our perception.

How can a common language be found despite having taken distinctly different journeys? What are the limits of the freedom of bodies? The five individuals who appear on stage in this creation share similar, yet varying emotions, as if echoing in the Sanskrit term Sāmara and its two main meanings: “a place of war” and “walking with the gods”.

A hybrid artist herself whose universe encompasses the stage as much as digital art forms, sound and voice as much as movement, Lila Magnin sees in these meanings the dual essence of our world and its profound and chaotic contradictions as much as the essential question of what we will be leaving behind for future generations.

Through the power of the group, Sāmara (which is also the first name of someone dear to the choreographer) plays with the heat of anger and celebration.
