2004 : With Pluie, Sylvain Émard takes an exceptional look at relations between human beings. Through an existing relationship between a man and a woman, he takes his inspiration from climate as a metaphor for the external elements affecting our daily lives. Our bodies, often without our knowledge, indiscriminately absorb a whole range of signals from many sources, near and far. More than ever, adaptation has become an integral part of life. How does the body perceive these profound transformations ? This is the climatology of bodies.
Carried by the rare virtuosity of the dancers, Pluie ravishes the senses, allowing Sylvain Émard to share once again the extraordinary finesse of his art.
