Performer: Danielle Gabou

Danielle Gabou is in residence at the Théâtre National de Chaillot this week with Transe, a multi-faceted, ambiguous, and thought-provoking production. Julien Ficely’s choreography, for solo female dancer, draws inspiration from Jean Rouch’s 1956 film Mammy Water, and extracts of the documentary itself form the backdrop for this performance.
