Taking the work done on the five elements as the methodology to work on movement and expression, «Souffle» was created as a result of the work on the element air carried out by a part of the dancers who took the course in 2008. Both a representation of individual breath and universal energy, the air, or breath, is often felt as a light, evasive and unpredictable element, expressing itself as a huge force that can prove to be devastating. Cadenced and unlimited, the breath is then a dynamic source of life…

 

The play was presented with «Beyond the Haze», «Offrande» and «Fogo», a four-volume work on the elements under «Sources…», same concept as in 2005.
