Mezzo, 60’

Mallarmé’s L'après-midi d'un faune, its musical interpretation by Debussy, and its erotic rendition by Nijinsky: three masculine expressions shaping the mythological and carnal figure of the Nymph. To reappropriate this figure, Lara Barsacq and her partner Marta Capaccioli have revisited the history of dance, deconstructing it into significant postures to produce a distinctive piece driven by biographical, feminist, and queer considerations.

Choreography, video, song, testimony, La Grande Nymphe mixes different registers. The result is a non-equivocal and fascinatingly fluid performance, free from the dictates of fixed sexuality. The aesthetic of these free bodies explodes, and a new imagery emerges. Happy. Salvatory.
