Nebula
From coal to diamond
Oxygen in the blood
A miracle at every moment
In Nebula, the stage appears like a burnt black landscape, both natural and futuristic, where everything has been destroyed except for a few bits and pieces: precious stones, coal, water, clay, mirrors... In dialogue with these materials, the dancer quivers with the energies around her, reinventing herself as a tree, a tiger, and a star. Entering unknown universes to reveal what exists beyond the black hole, the solo Nebula opens up even vaster spaces with new forms of life where time is expanded.
• Vania Vaneau was born in Brazil, where she started studying dance. Afterward, she continued her education at P.A.R.T.S in Brussels, acquired a Licence de Psychologie at the Université Paris 8, and followed a Body-Mind Centering training course. Vaneau is interested in the multiple physical and mental layers of the human body and their relation to the natural and cultural environment. Playing with intensities and contrasts, she creates sensory and visual performances, such as the internationally awarded Blanc. The new creation Nebula resonates intensively with the current ecofeminist thinking that is also dear to Kaaitheater.
'Nebula is simultaneously a funeral rite, where dead and dried flowers are placed on the ground, and a beginning, where other flowers made of metal corollas adorn the world.' – Maculture
