The practice we propose aims to open up imaginary and dreamlike spaces, both inside and outside ourselves. Through decentring, meditation, belief, trance and scientific knowledge, we link the fields of the physiological, the somatic, the symbolic, the fictional and the political. The body becomes a landscape, a creature, a discourse. The work focuses on sensation, perception, archetypal figures and the unconscious, both personal and collective.

Sofian Jouini
Sofian Jouini's dance has its roots in breakdance, extending to the winds of a multiple identity. Heir to a North African and French culture, it is in an Afro-Anglo-Saxon culture, hip-hop, that he chooses to set up his first philosophical camp, his first creative perspectives. As time went by, he drifted away from this marked identity, which would henceforth be neither exclusive nor reductive. He is this, but not that. He tends to dissolve himself, to escape assignations. His practice is enriched by writing, speech, animal mimicry and scientific culture.Anatomy, fiction, cellular memory, spirituality, gastronomy, agriculture. He traverses the sedimentary layers of the subjects that animate him, turning them into graceful, whimsical mounds.
His works appeal not only to the intellect and imaginations of those present, but also to their bodies, through original scenic devices and seating proposals. There is no dissociation between nature and culture. Or at least, there isn't any anymore.
The fruit of complicities built up over time, his work constantly straddles the Mediterranean, the subjects he tackles are put up for discussion between these two complementary conceptions of reality, so he explores them from both sides, constantly looking for the parallax, the shift, the fault. NATURES and JEDEYA, his two solos, follow the same line, that of decentering the individual, here in the body's multi-millennial memory, there in a filial, transgenerational and transgender memory.
Strictly speaking, he does not create, but is created and transformed by his path, and like beacons, objects, pieces and shows emerge.
