Anyone who saw Akal by in-house artist Radouan Mriziga last season will undoubtedly remember Dorothée Munyaneza as an impressive performer. For her new performance Mailles (French for mesh) the choreographer invites five women to accompany her on stage. With each of them she feels a deep connection, due to their strength or social engagement. One has specialised in flamenco dance, others in spoken word and vocals… but their stories about violence and repression are rooted in the same pain. Mailles is a tribute to female resilience, a polyphonous symphony that explores what it means to be a woman today. Together with designer Stéphanie Coudert, Munyaneza knots the stories together as if they were melodies.
