Hors Sol – From Forest to Concrete examines our connection to the earth and the invisible life it harbors. This production explores ecological fractures as a reflection of our rupture with the living world. The earth becomes an anchor for the dancers and a poetic prism: the foundation of all fertility, a place where death transforms to give rise to new life. In a society where organic soils are disappearing in favor of inert surfaces, this connection is unraveling. Through intense, grounded yet fragile dance and through words, Hors Sol seeks to make this underground world visible, to revive, honor, and defend this essential connection. A sensitive attempt at reconciliation.
