« Ce sont deux mondes chaotiques qui se confient 
L’un demande à être initié, l’autre se sent vulnérable
Alors le silence s’invite, arrive la respiration 
Une adresse et le mouvement apparaît 
La musique percussive convoque le sacré 
Séries de tremblements, ralentis, jaillissements 
Jalonnent la prise d’espace 
Le blaze Meech laissera place au récit de la lignée Onomo
Faire peau neuve, s’autoriser à 
Lâcher prise dans la célébration 
Le rite de passage se dessine pas à pas, 
Invite au partage d’une expérience du déplacement 
Des gestes d’antan qui s’entrecroisent 
Avec le cri du corps d’aujourd’hui 
L’ombre et la lumière déploient finement 
Un entre-deux monde 
Du vivant et de la mort,
Du visible et de l’invisible, 
De l’arrêt et de la libération »

In 1947, the trial of German playwright Bertolt Brecht took place in the United States in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), responsible for combating communist activism. It was here that Brecht wrote a declaration which he was forbidden to read out. The minutes of the trial, as well as this declaration, constitute one of the axes of this exuberant show.
