What triggers laughter ? What are the shapes of a body in a state of joy ? As an act of resistance through dance and the art of counterpoint, this choreographic and musical spectacle will unfold a polysemy of smiles. A space where the unusual and the unexpected emerge and flourish. Laughing to live and living to laugh, we celebrate the paths that lead to joy.
