The anchor point of the play is linked to an event which is the second bombing of Baghdad in March 2003. This first impulse then raised, the myth of Tiamat, (the sea) born of Babylonian cosmologies. But the first step, an instant echo to this trauma, was to choose Debussy's music for its "therapeutic" virtues: the idea was to absorb shocks and give birth to a body that builds.
The solo is based on a principle of verticality, or at least resistance to gravity. This is accentuated by the decor, a ceiling of steel plates and medical pockets, designed by Christophe Gonnet.
The presence of this piece influences the dancer, delimits his course (the shadow cast on the ground) or acts in a certain way on him, while his body, at times resists pressure, aspires to elevation. Franck Besson worked out the light according to this structural constraint of the ceiling, creating a sometimes abysmal atmosphere.
The presence of the room on the ground, a wall of water, reminder of the materials of the ceiling and represents a "source" place, a strategic presence in the play space.
The solo is danced to contemporary music by Jean Louis Clot composed in response to "La mer" by Claude Debussy.
It started out as a global project in the form of a diptych that included a solo response by one byte, danced to the original music of La Mer by Debussy.

Founded in 1997 by Delphine Gaud and Franck Besson, La Trisande resided in Lyon until 2004, and created ten pieces. Bombyx Mori (2000), created at the Lyon Biennale of dance, encouraged its development. Liber Mundi (2003) and Tiamat (2004) asserted the identity of the company. These creations have been praised by the press and a loyal public.
 

In 2004, La Trisande moved to a former spinning mill in Saint-Julien-Molin-Molette (42). His studio, called Les Ailes de Bernard, in homage to the dancer choreographer Bernard Glandier, is open to dancers from all backgrounds, and intended for research, creation, training and interdisciplinary exchanges. We offer an internship program between February and October.
 

In 2006, Delphine Gaud opened a new research component, linked to space and landscape. She creates From Near or Far, a room for the outdoors, and explores another relationship with the spectator and the performance space.
 

Since 2006 she has been working on an original project, Tropismes, the fruit of her collaboration with visual artist Christophe Gonnet, whose central question is: are we able to slow down? This research has already given birth to 3 pieces: Tropismes trio (outdoor form of 50 minutes for 3 dancers), Tropismes duo (scenic form of 32 minutes for 2 dancers) and a performance form of the duo, more suited to public places such as museums , contemporary art centers.
