“Actually, I thought : there are many stories that I don’t hear, many lives, many bodies that I miss, many stories that I can’t tell because I’m not going in the places where these stories take place, because I miss moments, because I am always working and these bodies dance and live somewhere where I am not because we have not the same age not the same education not the same social place… so that’s it: 8 ensemble is to take eight distant bodies to open the word and bring them to the eyes of the world.” – Pascal Rambert
