OuDance Festival

Fil Rouge is a performance in which action and voice bring mythological narratives to life. Through the immediate and dynamic movement of the bodies on stage, choreographies transform into stories – sometimes ordinary, sometimes surreal – as everyday life merges with absurdity. A sensory journey in which movement becomes meaning, breath becomes word and the stage a place of metamorphosis, where myth takes shape in the dancers’ bodies. Fil Rouge is a theatrical rite, a dance piece where the body generates the symbolic, giving shape to gods and archetypes in a continuous flow of transformation. Fil Rouge was conceived jointly by seven international dancers during residencies in Berlin and Italy in 2023-24. The participating artists share a deep and common interest in a specific performative language. These artists, each with a unique cultural background, orchestrate their individual artistic voices to create a multi-layered form of expression.
