Swiss choreographer Yasmine Hugonnet conceived and choreographed Our Times, a work that invites a shared presence: the three performers lead the audience into the heart of a vibrant space, where flows of energy, rhythm and space circulate between beings and within bodies.
The second chapter of a research project launched in 2025 with 1000&1 BPM _ Odyssée, aimed at introducing pulsation and immediacy into the choreographic writing process, Our Times invites us to perceive dance through a play of sensations and planes – distant, close, concealed. On stage, the three performers together sustain fragile space-time structures that depend on their mutual listening. They are constantly in relation, in a continuous process of accompanying, supporting and being present for one another.
From this abstract composition emerge intense and intimate dance spaces, in which the physical commitment and attention required, along with the vigilance and care directed towards others, allow access to a sensitive world where one simultaneously feels the vulnerability and the power of being together.
The performance is conceived as an autonomous and flexible choreographic device, capable of being staged even in non-theatrical spaces. Designed to engage in dialogue with dance and silence, the music is created live by Michael Nick: the means of sound production are determined by the vibration of the bodies in relation to one another and by the energy that settles within the space.
