Are physical impulses a means to access authenticity? Is disobedience a way to access freedom?

In "Suddenly, a Sloth Crosses the Street," the theme of disobedience is dealt with in four distinct acts, opening different points of view on the topic. This performance reflects on the consumerism of entertainment prevailing in today’s society and criticizes the abuse of a culture promoting virtuoso and obedient performing bodies. Thus, it pays tribute to "Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un Faune" by Vaslav Nijinski as an embodiment of "(r)evolution": the act of going against established artistic obedience.

The concept of disobedience is applied to various movement research, resulting in a piece where performers are in constant negotiation, not only disobeying their movement impulses but also challenging their very function as moving bodies. Indomitable and uncontrollable, they follow only the logic of not obeying, resisting, countering, and finding alternatives.

With a team of five artists, Céline Bellut explores physically and contextually the theme of disobedience from human and non-human perspectives, displaying other ways of living and moving.
