Dancers and acrobats take off in an elevated ballet that evokes the passing of time. On a stage sculpted by light and mist, ten performers take flight and intermingle in a lightly woven dialogue. Contre-nature questions what we are made of and celebrates the invisible presences that continue to live within us. A piece suspended between sky and memory.
