Sang Bleu is an exploration about the body and its relationship to its material components.
Clusters of flesh and bacteria that interpenetrate, devour each other, and decompose.
Whether it is through death, illness or infection, the artists offer a vision of degeneration that divorced from finality or the annihilation of the body. Rather, it is a process of physical transfiguration and the constant evolution of the flesh.
Dany Desjardins and Andréane Leclerc collaborated for the first time on the show "Mange-Moi" - presented at Tangente (2014) and at La Chapelle (2015). From this meeting, the artists noted their common interest in the dramaturgical research of the "dancing body" and the "circus body", as well as a need to question the conventions established in their respective disciplines. Therefore, a desire to continue this collaboration leads them into a process of research and creation of a hybrid duo piece, between dance and contemporary contortion.
