LA PETITE LAURA - Laura Guy
La petite Laura weaves movement and sound into emotionally familiar vignettes—humanistic shorts that guide the audience to refl ect on their own lives. Childhood innocence and adult complexities intertwine, creating a journey through past and present. With her signature physicality, Laura explores the tender terrain of healing, identity, and l'âme d'enfant - the childlike essence within us.
The concept allows for a world where joy and sorrow coexist in playful conversation.
The evening concludes with a Q&A about the creative process.
