For La Probabilité du Néant, Alexandra 'Spicey' Landé brings together eight virtuoso street dancers, who magnificently inhabit her choreographic work: Banks, 'Bibiman', 'Jigsaw', 'Kiddi', Kosi, 'Tealeaf', 'Hurricane Tina' and 'Rawss'.

Will indifference to the Other get the better of us? How can we make sense of our actions when we witness extreme situations that drive us to the edge of nothingness? Continuing her exploration of the human psyche, Spicey grounds the genesis of this work in the “bystander effect”. Is the witness an observer or an accomplice? Spicey blurs the lines and perspectives depending on who is watching. Seated on stage, the audience is surrounded by projection screens. Spicey has always been influenced by film and theatre, but this is the first time she has used video in her choreography.

With its incisive dance, La Probabilité du Néant challenges our perceptions, our judgments, and the consequences of our choices. In the strange possibility of our own self-destruction, it also reminds us of our luminous capacity for resistance and resilience.
