On stage, the dancers of the Compagnie Rahu LaMo—founded by Chollet herself in 2011 —surround the audience and move through it, creating with their movements a dense, visceral flow in which energy, power, and presence merge. Amid repetitive movements, group dances, and live music with pulsating, almost club-like rhythms, the audience is immersed in an intense sensory experience where delicacy meets frenzy, like a wave that shakes and envelops.
A carnal and emotional experience, in which chaos and wonder echo one another. The intensity of the movements invites both introspection and shared connection, sustained by pulse and rhythm as vital and unifying forces, capable of creating a moment of community: something affectionate, tender, and vulnerable.
