CONTRA's work is rooted in a choreographic dramaturgy driven by music, where physicality serves emotion. Movement carries a dense, refined musicality: it embodies the score or answers it, in the manner of counterpoint. The emotional, multidimensional nature of music becomes the foundation of movement, which transcribes the experiences, relationships and sensations that permeate our lives.
The focus is on what moves us: vulnerability, solitude, control and surrender, the relationship to oneself and to others, giving form to images imbued with nuance and embracing the contradictions that run through our existence.
The company translates universal questions into choreographic work that connects us to essential aspects of our humanity.
