"Les Applaudissements ne se mangent pas" by Maguy Marin

In this powerful work, bodies collide, avoid one another, and rebound, illustrating a society that remains ruthless toward the most vulnerable. Created in 2002 as a tribute to Latin American nations, this political piece denounces systemic resource looting and the oppression of the many for the benefit of a few. Performed at the renowned Chaillot - Théâtre national de la Danse, the choreography remains chillingly relevant in today's global climate. The performance invites the audience to reflect on inequality through intense, visceral movement. It is a demanding and essential piece of contemporary dance theatre.
