Maldonne

A powerful hymn to sisterhood.
Multi-awarded and internationally acclaimed for her trilogy of short plays about women, Leïla Ka has quickly established herself as a revelation on today's stage. We discover her in Bourg-en-Bresse with her first major play, Maldonne, an ode to female bonding and the quest for freedom. With this wildly energetic quintet, the choreographer explores the power of sisterhood in an intense dance, carried by the breath of bodies and contrasting music.
Carried away by the music of Vivaldi, songs by Lara Fabian or Leonard Cohen, five women dress in a multitude of colorful and different dresses to reveal their fragilities, their rebellions and their multiple identities. As the fabrics fly, shimmer, crack, spin, drag or fall, their bodies fuse, vibrate and lift. Together, they invent a dance that extracts them from submission and shackles, drawing joy from their regained freedom. A piece in which women conquer themselves, a powerful hymn to sisterhood!
