FLUID WATERS

Water, this magical molecule

​

Fluid Waters is a choreographic performance for young dancers dedicated to the element of water and its sensory, scientific, and imaginative dimensions. The project draws inspiration from the work of geologist Alain Gachet, Le Sourcier, and explores the role of water as origin, memory, and movement of life.

​

Through dance, music, and spatial composition, Fluid Waters investigates water as a circulating force—an ageless traveler carrying stories and transformations. As Alain Gachet writes:

“Water, this timeless traveler through space, is, after hydrogen, the most fundamental and probably the oldest molecule in the universe, long predating the birth of our sun.”

​

The creation is also informed by the poetic thinking of Gaston Bachelard, for whom water is a substance of reverie and emanation:

“It is by the water that I have best understood that reverie is a universe in emanation, a fragrant breath that emerges from things through the intermediary of a dreamer.”

​

Fluid Waters thus offers an artistic experience in which the dancing body becomes fluid and permeable, traversed by the imaginaries of water, between science, poetry, and movement.
