If one primarily knows the myth thanks to Ovid, this contemporary Narcissus immerses us in a continuum of metamorphoses within a shifting world.
We sail between the familiar and the uncanny, amidst the whimsical and the burlesque, in a choreographic, sonorous and plastic composition crafted for the young audience.
The piece constitutes a sensitive critique of our society, probing the very essence of our gaze and our attentiveness.
Narcisse also narrates the imperativeness of departing from the realm of innocence to attain the political dimension of the adult world, where spring signifies not only revival but also rebellion.
