In Down (single version), the dancer Mélissa Guex takes over the streets, squares and other public spaces with raw power.

She captivates the attention of festival audiences and casual passers-by alike with her explosive and magnetic presence. In dialogue with drummer Clément Grin, she is an irresistible force that expands and subsides in dance, offering the possibility to ascend or descend together after a collective ecstasy.

Through her choreography and dance, Mélissa Guex navigates the boundaries between theatre and nightlife, exploring the potential of change through costume design and treating public spaces as both a playground and a testing ground for the possibilities of developing her movement.
