"I have always been fascinated by chemistry, by the behaviour of atoms inside a molecule, by their reactions, their organisation, which remind me of human behaviour. Including the reaction of one element as it interacts with another, its attraction to or rejection of the other – that element being both transformed and revealed by this encounter.
 

For this trio, I wanted to create a dance echoing the question of identitary construction, focusing on the transformational process which brings us to accept different facets of our personalities, our being, as well as those of others. I constructed this piece like a sort of puzzle, with different, overlapping situations, evolving and fragmented.

Popular Music was also my first collaboration with the composer Bertrand Larrieu. Our process involved creating an acoustic universe linked to urban spaces, consisting of industrial sounds, like the ones we hear at construction sites.
We then created a rhythm out of the random sounds. With our plethora of technologies and a constantly changing world, I wanted to bring the spectator closer to his or her own sensations."
