Catol Teixeira, ODE
Lafayette Anticipations9 rue du Platre 75004 PARIS Synonymous with homage, an "ode" is a poem traditionally accompanied by music, dedicated to a person or event. Here, ODE by Catol Teixeira unfolds as a dance dedicated to gaps, ruptures, and transformations.
Catol Teixeira's choreographic research becomes a lament for what slips through the fingers, for what never arrives, for what once was almost here. ODE becomes a rehearsal for farewells. Teixeira’s body, caught between what was and what will be, bears the weight of what was loved and abandoned, and absorbs the tension of what longs to break free.
This solo revisits choreographic remains left along the way: fragments of previous works, procedures, and unfinished experimentations. Alongside their ongoing research into collective composition, initiated in 2023, Teixeira continues to investigate the spaces in between collaboration and the shifting forms dance can take.
ODE inhabits the raw space where traces linger, where each movement seems haunted by what came before. The residue of a movement, the echo of a decision, the memory of a contact all remain within the body.Dance unfolds in this tension between disappearance and grace: not to resolve or to conclude, but to stay a little longer in the process of change.
