To engage, appeal, endear, attach.

Feeling trapped in the complex web of life, yet existing as part of it. Attention to detail, behaving sensibly, becoming predictable: these are the ways of living that define the individual so deeply they solidify as structures - even more dangerously, as limitations. It is impossible to separate what is ingrained. The more one melts into the world, the more one is defined by its codes. Hence the title of Bazin's new creation, Attachant explores ways and habits that have adhered too closely to the point of no release. 

Can bodies rebel by drawing upon their heritage? Layer by layer, the choreographer peels away the fossil of structures. We may never truly understand how we arrived at this point, but we can discover the ties, the attachments forming these bonds.

Using Contact technique as both movement and metaphor, Attachant builds its creative explorations through intricate knots of bodies, looking past perceived physical limitations to the renewable advantages of drawing close to a fellow being.
