“They dance endlessly, until they are exhausted.”
Fièvre (Fever) is inspired by the real events of Strasbourg in 1518, when hundreds of people were gripped by an uncontrollable compulsion to dance. Six performers allow themselves to be carried away in continuous excitement; a common pulse, almost crazy. Together, they create, fall, get up, support each other, exhaust each other, merge into each other. The individual dissolves into the energy of the group, beauty is born in a shared chaos.
