Introduction
We are planets. And together wanderers, constantly drifting beings on the same celestial body. The internationally renowned and iconoclastic choreographer, a collaborator of Madonna, Thom Yorke, and Marina Abramović, among others, creates, in the company of Japanese visual artist Kohei Nawa, a monumental installation, a cosmogony in motion.

Eight creatures, eight wanderers. Like nomads condemned by the law of gravity, they constantly drift on the same celestial body. Damien Jalet exposes eight dancers to a ceaseless confrontation with the natural elements—wind, water, dirt, smoke, fog, light, and darkness. On stage, a cosmogony begins to take place.
An iconoclastic choreographer and dancer, Damien Jalet (Belgium/France) is internationally revered for his monumental choreographies that can be perceived as art installations, such as the iconic "Chiroptera" (2023) staged on the façade of the Opéra Garnier in Paris with the participation of 153 dancers. Moreover, he has helmed choreographic work for Madonna ("Madame X" and "Celebration" tours) and the films "Suspiria" by Luca Guadagnino, "Anima" by Paul Thomas Anderson, and "Emilia Pérez" by Jacques Audiard. He has also collaborated with artists such as Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Marina Abramović, Iris van Herpen, Thom Yorke, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Thomas Bangalter, and JR.
Eight creatures, eight wanderers. Like nomads condemned by the law of gravity, they constantly drift on the same celestial body.
Because maybe this is what we are. Wanderers. On the same celestial body, which, equally, drifts amid the universe.
