"Géometrie Variable" exposes bodies in gravity at 360°. Located on the threshold of the possibilities offered by bodies in motion, the piece foments an aesthetic of hyperform, plays with geometric aesthetics via sharp gestures, to give a new and avant-garde character, a new type of dance. Based on hip hop dance, "Géométrie Variable" has invaded the field of architecture. It develops immersive scenographic devices and elaborates movements that alter gravity. "Géométrie Variable" invents gestures to discover "unknown spaces".
