Danse K par K presents its ninth creation — a danced fresco envisioning a utopian world where solidarity and mutual aid prevail over the pursuit of convenience, all within a unique post-apocalyptic setting.
Homo confortus is a surreal fiction inviting the audience to step forward in history — as if in the year 3026 — observing our civilization in all its beauty, ugliness, patterns, and ruptures. At the heart of this creation lies the desire to place these ever-comfort-seeking beings into a munitions factory. A metaphor for our world?
The performance unfolds through sweeping living tableaux that explore the cycles of human experience while tackling contemporary — and often ambiguous — issues.
This group of homo confortus — outfitted with shock-absorbing foam and demonstrating a fledgling revolutionary spirit, armed with poetry and humor — questions modern individualism and imagines a utopian society. A multifaceted choreographic work committed to experimenting with new ways of creating and connecting.
