JAUNE pour jour(s)
- creation 2027
The first instalment in a series of four works centred on a primary colour, JAUNE pour Jour(s) is a choreographic piece for 9 performers. Drawing on various iconographies and narratives, they will create a choreography imbued with the sensation and energy of the colour yellow. The premieres are scheduled for October 2027 at the Charleroi danse Biennale.
Conceived as a cycle, this series of four pieces, each centred on a primary colour, explores texture, sensations, symbolic imagery, and the mythological or mystical significance that the colour conveys. Each piece treats colour as a living material: how it flows through the body, affects the senses, shapes the imagination, and carries cultural symbolism. The stage thus becomes a space where colour unfolds as an energy, a language and a sensory experience shared between performers, music and the audience.
JAUNE pour Jour(s) is a choreographed piece for 9 performers accompanied by Spectrum Colur. They will explore the sensation of entering the colour yellow. Drawing on various iconographies and narratives associated with this colour, they will construct a choreography imbued with the sensation and energy of yellow. Historical and pictorial references, iconographies, materials, songs and movements will inform this exploration, celebrating colour as a living substance.
What is yellow? Which iconography to choose, which story?
The premiere of JAUNE pour Jour(s) will take place in October 2027 at the Charleroi danse Biennale.
