S.thala is inspired by Marguerite Duras' Indian cycle.
Writer, playwright, screenwriter and film director, Marguerite Duras (1914-1996) is one of the major figures in the French literary and artistic world. In her multiform corpus, the texts and films of the “Indian cycle” occupy a central place. By revisiting Duras’ fantasized India and the very real one at the heart of her company's productions, Annette Leday proposes a poetic visual approach of the Durassian universe through a choreographed interpretation of her organic writing.
"To immerse oneself in the work of Marguerite Duras is to enter into a sort of enigma and to try figure the meaning of her many variations. To let oneself be carried away by the flow of a mysteriously bewitching minimalist writing. It is through the body and the movements of dance that we choose to testify to this writing. Creating a contemporary dance performance is a bit like writing a poem. In S.Thala we examine the pieces of Duras' puzzle without trying to reproduce or illustrate the complex narrative schemes of her texts. Our choreography explores the relationships and emotions of the "characters" and the emblematic atmospheres of her universe." A. Leday
The Annette Leday/Keli company:
The artistic project of the Annette Leday/Keli Company is to orient and evolve rare traditional performance
techniques towards contemporary creation. Building on Annette Leday’s pioneering choreography, the
company has established a constant dialogue between artists from India and from France and has developed
an original process of exchanges ever since its creation in the nineteen-eighties. A new vocabulary has
emerged from this contact where the different techniques enrich each other.
The company has toured many times in India and all over the world with its different productions.
