“With fish, a shoal is a large group of individuals of the same species moving together without hierarchy.” Starting from what can immediately be interpreted as a metaphor for social harmony, choreographer Olga de Soto and Transquinquennal put a joyous association on stage to explore animal reality in its tiniest detail as well as the meanderings of an anthropomorphic frenzy. Where does this fascination for shoals of fisch come from? Is it the endless repetition by the same individual? The fluidity with which they move together freely? The renunciation of their free will for the greater good? A whole host of questions, all of which offer ways of questionning dance and theatre as a form of biological reality and socio-aesthetic fantasy.
