Mathilde Monnier

With its title which is by no means paradoxical, Silence is a concert by Lucie Antunes set to a choreography by Mathilde Monnier. The relationship with the music is the foundation for this multi-sensorial new work. The bodies respond to the rhythm as if it were a calling of some sort. And in doing so, silence becomes a score set into movement.

Expect artistic sparks to fly, as two of the strongest figures of the contemporary choreography scene – France's Mathilde Monnier and Spain's La Ribot – team up for Gustavia, their portrait of an ever-elusive woman. This enthralling face à face, offers us a bitingly ironic view of our world, thanks to a refreshing dash of both insolence and humor.

Bunker pinpoints what is at the source of poems and poetry, that of the encounter between spoken word and silence.

With Paradis plage, Kenza Berrada conjures up a huis clos at the heart of the Moroccan bourgeoisie. Stifled by its code of decorum, the characters cling to the idea of the family, against all odds.
