DOWN (SINGLE VERSION)

DOWN (SINGLE VERSION)

DOWN (SINGLE VERSION)

With Mélissa Guex and Clément Grin

Dancer Mélissa Guex and drummer Clément Grin enter an unstable state together, where everything affects, engages, or precipitates. Amidst the audience, they share an explosive, unreasonable, generous, and insatiable dance, a collective groove in the abyss.

An explosion of energy that infects even the most immobile!

- THE PRESS IS TALKING ABOUT IT -

“Intense funk and tripe atmosphere, 45 minutes of sharing and trance with the audience and the musician.” — Le Courrier

“Down” is therefore a dance show and just as much a concert. We find this energy which borders on catharsis, with ultimately the feeling of being together, all magnetized by this dancer who seems tireless, determined to galvanize the room and chase away the slightest bad spirit from the place.” - RTS Culture
