Silence - Lucie Antunes et Mathilde Monnier - Le Cargo

A dance performance by the duo Lucie Antunes and Mathilde Monnier, on Thursday 11 March 2027 at 9.00 pm, at Le Cargo in Segré.

Blurring the lines between concert and dance performance, *Silence* offers an immersive experience in which rhythm becomes a force for transformation. Lucie Antunes and Mathilde Monnier orchestrate a sensory journey for nine performers, in which music and dance come together in a shared quest for intensity and letting go.

At the heart of Silence lies a deep affinity for rhythm and its transformative power. Lucie Antunes and Mathilde Monnier share a strong interest in hybrid forms and artistic collaborations, each having developed an open-minded career path that has drawn on other disciplines. The former, a percussionist and composer, grounds her work in a sonic exploration that blends acoustic and electronic sounds, performance and new forms of stagecraft. The latter, a leading figure in contemporary dance, has continually opened up her dance to other artistic fields, engaging in numerous collaborations with musicians, writers, filmmakers and visual artists. *Silence* emerges from this convergence. Conceived as a concert rather than a choreographed piece, this new creation draws on a sonic fabric in which rhythm becomes a driving force, capable of setting bodies vibrating, shifting the way we listen and disrupting our perception of time. On stage, dancers and musicians share the same sensory journey, engaged in a joint exploration of intensity and transformation. At the heart of the music lies an experience that brings us back to a primal way of listening, connected to the pulse of life.
