Bocson

Bocson is a choreographic piece conceived to be rooted in the territory of northern France. The work is envisioned as a manifesto celebrating the region’s popular cultures and struggles. Scheduled for early 2027, it explores an analogy between women’s bodies and northern landscapes - both shaped, exploited, damaged, and rendered vulnerable by industrial, patriarchal and extractivist logics. The floods of 2023 have made this fragility visible: a saturated, transformed, constrained territory that overflows, like bodies bearing the marks of violence, pressure and wear. Between the sea, the marshlands and the slag heaps, the North emerges as an altered yet living landscape, much like bodies -marked by wounds, yet carrying resistance, memory and the power to transform. The piece aims to be both visual and educational, drawing on symbolic imagery to address ecofeminism and the plurality of identities. Five solidarity tickets at €5 will be set aside for each performance of performing arts projects (with some exceptions).
