produced by Les Ballets C. de la B., a piece for 8 dancers and a one-man orchestra.  It portrays a group in search of their own, new rituals. The waiter (Johan De Rijcke) forces the group to a cathartic release with the rhythm of his music and drums.  The piece made a European tour, via Paris, Rome, Lisbon, Oslo and was presented at the festival of Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

“une épreuve physique véritable et dure, qui transmet son intensité d’une façon directe et authentique..” (Ballet 2000)
