This choreographic piece for 3 dancers is set in a psychedelic imaginary world. It seeks precarity and incoherence, ambiguous situations, and trouble. It’s inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas. A feminist epistolary novel written in 1938, attempting to answer the question “how to avoid war?”, based on the assumption that it is a patriarchal issue.

NOTE OF INTENT

“From Virginia Woolf’s writing, I remember most her deep feeling of helplessness. And her refusal to be a passive audience member burdened by a history said to be inevitable. But also, her formidable sense of humour, and her unstoppable need to find in her language – literature – a path to a deep commitment to pacifism.

At a time where Europe throws itself into an armaments race, where the vocabulary of war infiltrates more and more political and media speeches, where military, imperialist and colonial projects are raging, the fuel for this creation likely starts from a similar need. Starting with the same question “what, according to us, can we do to avoid the war?”. To create in our language, a piece as a hallucination refusing any type of bellicose project and, through it, inventing another future.” Maud Blandel
