« YES, I want it! is a cry from the heart. That of a woman who embodies all the others. » This choreography, thought of as a piece of the project « Women from here », which lists dance stories of women from varied backgrounds, is signed Agnès Canova, of the company Frontières. She will present it on January 8 and 9, 2025 at the TMG Théâtre de Pocket, in Grenoble.

In this solo, the choreographer and dancer invites the audience to become themselves “ actor and witness of dramaturgy “. And while questioning the form of the solo », the danseuse souhaite « amen[er] the subject of our deepest desires ».

Free will and choice

YES, I want it! aims to question our social, but also cultural heritage, and to allow the public to question their conditioning. Who truly decides their free will? “ What do we inherit, what connection do we have with our ancestors? », asks the Frontières company.

All these questions will therefore appear in the representation of Agnès Canova, a woman who will have to embody all the others. His mission will be to make their journeys resonate through his body alone. In one way, she will say: “ I am, we are all at the same time, origin and present, constraint and freedom, cultures and universality, silence and cry, anchoring and suspension… Woman, child and mother. »

Because at the origin of YES, I want it! are the women. “ Those we meet, who open up and offer access to their stories. Those who come to awaken our own dark sides and shed light on buried secrets. Those who become complicit in a journey where time no longer has limits. » In short, this show intends to show that “ compartmentalizations no longer need to be ».

“Women from here”

The project « Women from here » is thought of as a “ process of meeting, exploration and creation around dance workshops », Explains the Frontières company. Concretely, it is about giving everyone a voice through dance. And from this sharing will be born a documentary which will aim to “ reflect in a poetic and touching way each testimony and each woman ».

The Frontières company thus wishes “ provide a space for exchange and expression “. And this especially for women. women fighters, whether for their survival, their health, their work or their equality ».
