Music for the dance performance "Melancholia"


Melancholia is a dance performance with four characters which explores themes of exclusion and symbolic power within a group.
The choreography of Melancholia demolishes the partitions between private and public, performer and spectator, and between collective imagination and intimate fantasy. The dancers' movements both define and transgress the boundaries of social relationships.
Melancholia was inspired by Albrecht Dürer's 1514 engraving of the same name. Its mysterious natures allows for a multitude of interpretations through the performers’ position in space, the background, as well as the symbolism of gestures and words.
This project could not have been accomplished without the generous support of the Gallo-Roman Museum in Lyon and of the Renaud Foundation.
