This fable, more than five centuries old, could very well have been written today, because it responds to a reality of today’s culture.
The Oak and the Reed, or the confrontation between two distinct conceptions of dance, but so related.
On one side Oak, emblem of nature by its robustness and inflexibility in the face of the elements, and on the other side, the Reed with his flexibility, which undergoes the elements but never yields.
I chose this fable, because it illustrates my career as a dancer resulting from an emerging choreographic movement, malleable, facing an installed system, rigid.
