On its 30th birthday the company deepens its research into site-specific creation. To begin this project, it is gathering a cross-generational group of dancers and a musician to look into traces, transmission and passing on movements over time. It peoples the shared, lively space of the street with young and old bodies, their memories, rhythms and silences. Between legacy and creation, this new piece asks an important question of our society: how, in the public space, young and old bodies can still meet, be upset or moved, and find each other.
