Dance performance at the Usine à Gaz in Nyon
RUN BABY RUN brings together two generations of dancers – one in their twenties and two in their fifties – to explore the dynamics of heritage, creation and power. On stage, three bodies linked by the intimate relationship of being a family in real life explore together the multiple forms of transmission: those that pass through gestures, silences, habits, impulses or tensions. It is a journey that is both physical and poetic, where memory flows from one body to another. Where hierarchies fade away, transmission becomes dialogue and the age gap becomes a driving force for invention. Here, the family is not fixed: it is conceived as a shifting territory, both biological and chosen, where bonds, places and desires are redefined. Starting from our own family unit, parents, children, artists and accomplices, we explore what it means to ‘be a family’ today. Caring, creating together, laughing and stumbling: these are all political acts, all ways of reinventing the common good. The original music is by Owelle, an artist and producer from Geneva. Her composition weaves a vibrant, organic and electrifying soundscape, where heartbeats merge with those of movement. With Marco Delgado, Nadine Fuchs, Lili-Marlo and Owelle.
