thank you without words simply with
gestures
I just shared with you eleven
one thousand three hundred and twenty-four days from
life of my sorrows of my joys of my
successes but also my defeats
of love and hatred and confidences for
confidences every time I dance
it’s as if a power unfolds
it’s like I’m getting stronger and
somewhere a little wiser I
my name is guen raku de vaud
I was born in France and I am Malagasy
of antipodean cultures that have
encountered as two planets that are
would be shocked into one body
we talk a lot about miscegenation as
something that is wonderful
rewarding awesome but in society
in which we live it can also be
a challenge a weight to wear see
when I was a kid for example he
was very difficult for me to find
my place in society
it was not easy not to
completely belong to one and not
not completely belong to each other
I was a little lost a bit like a
extraterrestrial
a bit like a symbol of my childhood
a bit like it is it he knew
of extraterrestrials who was looking in
to call home without
never achieve it
so I found my phone
as a tool besides I found my
phone
the dance the dance has arrived as a
decisive encounter in my life she
allowed me to reconcile all
things that were inside of
me different cultures but
different cultures
the trials of life the injustices and
so also all the things that I
door and that I wore
and through time I discovered that
in it was a power a power that
sleep in each of us needs a
power that would be similar
finally I believe it’s my beliefs that
would be similar to a seed that one
could put inside that would
inside and that we could
watered so that the great
developed dance plant of such
so that if I asked anyone
which of you to come on stage
and do a little demonstration of
dance you would be able to do it I
know that’s what you think oh no
no no no not me me I do not know
dance
I do not know how to put a foot in front
the other one and I still have less rhythm
in the skin
if any of you to think it up
hand pretty well there are people who get
know well
in the room well I’ll go
give an example who is could we
to agree on
we have all experienced being in
a room with a toddler put
music and seen this kid
immediately move on the rite was
waddled in rite well in rhythm and well
I imagine today if we are
all adults I see no children
in the room but if we are all
adults
is that at some point in our
life we have been a child is a
toddler and so he is strong
likely that it has happened to you
as I just described it ago
few seconds be this little kid
toddlers who were dancing on the beat
I did not get you dancing right away
so how does the power of
dance and paradoxically for me
As the professional dancer
greatest dance moments are not
the moments when I was on stage
these moments are magical and unique
certainly but the strongest moments
I experienced her only when there in the
sharing is an artist see a dancer
a dancer is not just a
shining star on stage it’s also
a human being who must diversify
to be able to live and so it happens to me
sometimes to be invited to convey
the dance is in those moments
in a context that is at first sight
ordinary things seem extraordinary
is done for example by contact
of a youth audience with
mental disabilities that I discovered
there in another day
these young people for the most part do not have
physical disorders but they have
mental development that is restricted
and slower and so in a society
we do not all ask to be the same
this creates a gap between them
our world and their world forgiveness and so
I was asked to intervene with
these young people to transmit to them the
dance to introduce them to the expression
body to dance to help them
to dare to take their place in the image of
future citizens who will be tomorrow and
this on the themed not even scared
to discover to exist to be together
I intervened with these young people
and everything was going very well at
their rhythm everything was very easy and a
day a big challenge came to me
and that’s calling the feast of
the association every year the institute
educational medico who hack young people make a
party so that young people can
to share what they do with their
family and their loved ones and I was
asked to build for this holiday it would be
although you do a choreography a
dance with all these young people there I got
said yes it would be good but 45 young
with a singular way of seeing the
world with a singular way of
fit in and with the difficulty
also to agree to a single task to
both the challenge was very high
but I thought we were going to try
that we would try to do something
thing and at that time I was working
on another project a baroque project and
so I was familiar with the
lully music the march of the turks
so for those who know I do not
do not sing it and for those who do not
do not know I ‘m not going to
sing no more but to give you
an idea is a louis xiv atmosphere
very royal ball so I told myself
why do not you try lully
why not try something that
would gather this is how on Monday at
Sun
I found myself in the small room
of sport of the medical-educational institute
a week before the sauce party
is fascinating it week before the party
from the Association
to start this dance is so I
asked the first group I had
if they could give me departure for
start this dance and that’s how
that we started by greeting then we
showed our beautiful shoes
we greeted each other again we drew a
rainbow backwards then caressed
the grass we went around for
to draw a sun and we have everything
start again
this is how the king’s dance and the
queen was born and we thought that for
this dance we would stand straight
and we would be proud to create it
share by whose creation we
had created the day of the feast of
the association arrived very quickly
and when I got back into the yard
from the medical-educational institute I took
right away I was very scared
on one side there was the workshop
makeup the booth of disintegrated everything
there was even a karaoke the atmosphere was
assured then young people having fun and I
told me but what is he going
become of our serious king’s dance
and the queen is what young people
will answer present
alas the music the time of the dance
came the music of lullier a
sounded the young people arrived with
their family members that they
did not know the dance they were
together
we went into a circle and that’s like
if time had stopped
we held hands with each other
we danced we laughed and we got
danced again and we have re and the
actions around us have stopped all
became calm
so the time the during the three
minutes from the margin of lully the young
have existed with their difference certainly
but we were all in unison the
music stopped and we were in
delirium
the time of a dance these young people had
afraid of discovering to exist or being afraid
to be together and that’s the power
dance
