‘La Spire was born from the desire to implant suspension in the landscape of a sky that we all share. I imagined it as a sculptural structure, at once light and monumental, the horizontal elevation of a spiral of steel wire forming three successive loops, seven metres in diameter and eighteen metres long'.
- Chloé Moglia
Five women inhabit an immense spiral, a space of suspension and poetic tension. By playing with emptiness, Chloé Moglia invites us to abstract from the hustle and bustle of the world. LA SPIRE is the name the choreographer gives to the monumental spiral created for this performance, imagined as a drawing traced in space. This spiral offers a sense of enveloping emptiness as much as it emphasises the presence of the landscape in which it is inserted. Starting from one end or the other, the performers create the possible, approaching, crossing and moving towards each other in a spectacular ascent. In this interweaving, they invent games and connections. Marielle Chatain, who provides live music, makes this human constellation vibrate.
