'We invite you to our broken-human gallery, made of plastic, sounds, flesh, and empty spaces. In this made-up environment, we are looking for a sense of purpose and maybe a way to freedom. It could become a utopia, yet everything seems to bring us back to reality. Navigating between known forms and melodies, we become subversive super-characters fuelled to threaten the regular chain of events'

The performance BREAK THE CHARM is a collaboration between dance artists Julie Carrere, Agathe Vincent, and music producer Dahlia Rebecca. The theme of masculine dominance over women's bodies was predominant in their process. Together they developed body-based strategies and composed a series of attempts to make their emancipation visible in the form of a musical.
