WORK
Space is solitude since it delimits and separates us. While we count our actions, time undoes them, playing with our deadlines and multiplying the impossible – the dance is in the moment which, inexplicably, stretches out. . . Zab Maboungou offers us this silent solo in music, provided with gestures with multiple references and failing in a point in constant regression. The gestures of Zab Maboungou, the interpreter, are both fluid and sharp. Extremely codified, it testifies to an incomparable freedom of movement: the body is challenged to the extent of its ability to persist while altering.
