Efer, the new work from Parts+Labour_Danse

Each year, Danse Danse supports artists by making rehearsal spaces available, thereby allowing them to deepen several aspects of their creative work. Parts+Labor_Dance, will be in residence at Cinquième Salle at Place des Arts to work on their new creation Efer.

About the work
Efer deals with ashes as a symbol of both finality and renewal, in effect, an appropriate symbol of our times. Its symbolism of insignificance evokes disorientation and isolation. The universality of this emotional resonance, however, unites us - in loss we experience community and hope, transcendence and transformation. We are seeking, in this project and with its dancer-collaborators, for a way to speak about the liminal space created so violently by grief and loss, and to mine its transformative potential. How can we embody this state, simultaneously barren and brimming?

Not accessible to the public.
