Propos
« For Marion, being a mother and a choreographer is a conscious choice.
Finding a lasting balance is never easy amid the triad of self, work, and parenthood. How can one flourish as a woman, mother, and choreographer? How can one preserve physical and mental space for oneself, for creativity, and for one’s family?
With Ditto to the Sand, Marion allows herself to blend these worlds. She chooses to bring her children into the spotlight by inviting them to share a space of choreographic creation.
Leaving behind solitary wanderings to forge new paths together as a trio.
Reenacting the tensions that bind her to them and to her work. And reconciling what she once believed to be irreconcilable…
Ditto to the Sand is a trio featuring Marion and her children, James and Léon. Together they share a space where their different activities and rhythms intersect. Here, movement is an expression of their relational dynamics.
Choosing to extend this invitation to her two children is a political, feminist, and activist act. »
