About the Work
Charged with dynamic energy, Errances unfolds into a vast fresco of successive scenes, where human fragility emerges alongside the collective’s raw power.
Eight performers, each carrying a singular story, venture toward new horizons, driven by an ever-growing collective energy.
In this choreographic opus, elevated by the evocative power of percussive dance, the artists of Zeugma Danse deliver a breathtaking performance that celebrates encounter, otherness, and self-transcendence.
Through percussive dance, Errances emerge as an odyssey celebrating the richness of collaboration, the challenge of surpassing oneself, and the magic of encountering others.
