Petit Câlin

Dance Theatre Auraco:
Petit Câlin

Finland–France–Japan

The dance work Petit Câlin is like an embrace where you can both struggle and rest, laugh and cry, joke and be serious, where there is space for longing and to be comforted. The idea and the name of the work are based on the French phrase “petit câlin”, which means embracing a newborn baby, its first hug. Movement in a tightly controlled space, the human voice, and lighting transport the audience from one state of emotion to the next. The audience will have the opportunity to participate in a discussion with the artists after the performances. Premiere in Kanneltalo on 13 March 2012.
