> About the performance of Marie Leca's contemporary dance classroom
"For this performance, I chose to work with two materials. The first echoes the title of the exhibition "Love brings Love", the beauty of the creations and the tribute paid to Alber Elbaz. It unfolds in two forms, the duo and the solo. Each of them allows a certain intimacy and sensuality to appear. The second material takes up the energy of the fashion show, it uses the walk as a primary, dynamic element, where one comes to expose the body, to deploy a presence, to give to see. - Marie Leca
