Following on from Romances inciertos, another Orlando, Nina Laisné and François Chaignaud extend their utopic fusion of dance and music based on South American repertoires. In the company of the Argentinian singer Nadia Larcher, they compose a cosmogonic universe in which voices resonate with the breathy sound of the sackbut and zapateo rhythms.
Furthering her research on folk repertoires and their different combinations, Nina Laisné has focused on the rich musical traditions of Argentina and Peru. Taking as her starting point the iconography and scores of the Trujillo codex, she conjures up the extraction of a sunken world, on the border between a story of beginnings and meditation on the memory of gestures. On stage, singer and author Nadia Larcher and choreographer François Chaignaud, accompanied by six mobile musicians, bring into existence this allegory of origins. They do so by means of mythological creatures, both animal and plant-like, sibyls the foretelling qualities of which question the future and the power of beliefs. In an incessant to-and-fro between melodies and steps, in which canarios get tangled up with the malambo, their two bodies are awakened and transformed, prior to transporting us into a whirlwind of stories and materials, a procession of flamboyant dances that carries the whole orchestra away. Ancient timbres resonate in contemporary bodies, causing the boundaries between past, present and future, dance, song, and instruments to fade away.
