Through her patient and serene presence, Yasmine Hugonnet summons evocations, which are often enigmatic or funny. These diffuse and inspiring forms emerge from poses and figures as much as from the artist's attention to what surrounds her, as well as to her body, or a part of it when placed in situation.

Indeed, for the performer of this dance, space and body are not distinct – rather they are a same way of composing time, of shaping space and inhabiting it, of making it a single place. The choreographer thus develops what she calls anatomical fictions: phrases that guide the gesture and attention of the performer. Fictions, because these short statements carry within them an idea of the space, time and internal tensions of the body; they are a possible version of it. They are not narratives, but open combinations of being-in-the-world: ways of being alive and listening, of being present and inscribed in the place in which we find ourselves. Presence and gesture carry within them a form of practical philosophy of presence that does not distinguish the self from the place it moves through.

After having created several group pieces and passed on her choreographies to others, Yasmine Hugonnet now devises and performs a solo. By sharing her anatomical fictions, she invites us to enter the very fabric of her dance. This time, the choreographer accompanies her movements with what motivates them, and being a spectator is no longer just about appreciating but also about sharing a time and a space, as well as a patient, creative and open quality of attention: another way of taking part in the dance.
