On Saturday, February 4, 2023, at 8:00pm, Collectif HEDO will current “Sucres à Corps Chauds” at L’Artchipel Scène Nationale de Guadeloupe (Anacaona Corridor) with music by Kenyah Stanislas and Mickaël Prime. The dancers/choreographers within the collective are Kenyah Stanislas, Naomi Yengadessin, Mickaël Prime, Lisa Ponin.
“Sucres à Corps Chauds” is the second choreographic piece by Collectif HEDO, a younger collective of 4 Guadeloupean dancers, and is predicated on an issue encountered by many younger folks throughout their professionalization: to go away or to remain?
[. . .] A real poetic reflection on cultural fatalism, “Sucres à Corps Chauds” pushes us to query our relationship to our territory, our identification, but in addition our relationship to others.
Collectif HEDO (quick for hedonism), emphasizes—via mild and motion—all of the dualities implicit in {our relationships} with Guadeloupe and with ourselves, with love on one aspect and doubts on the opposite.
Drawing their inspiration from nature and the weather by dancing within the forest, the river, and even the sand, these 4 heat our bodies intermingle and collide, in a strategy of confrontation, acceptance, rejection, transmission… from one physique to a different.
