Johana Malédon – MÂLE

(titre provisoire)

France The Twenty26

In (titre provisoire), nothing stays fixed for long. Meaning circulates, slips, and escapes.
A single body moves through a shifting field of light and language, in dialogue with a LED screen, at once partner, mirror, and moving surface.
Words appear, disappear, collide, shaping and destabilising perception.
The solo exposes a fragile conversation between body and language, between what can be said and what resists definition.
It invites us into a shared space of the undefined, where everything can still transform, and nothing ever truly settles.

Biography

Johana Malédon is a choreographer and performer from French Guiana. Her journey took shape between Paris, New York and Israel, where she discovered dance as both a grounding place and a way to escape. In 2019, she founded Compagnie MÂLE after receiving the Sobanova Grand Prize, driven by the desire to work from the body rather than on it. Her pieces consider bodies as living archives, marked, porous, resistant and constantly transforming. She is drawn to spaces where instinct meets dramaturgy, where movement becomes a shared ground for resilience, friction and social resonance. As a performer, she has crossed the universes of Léo Lérus, Fouad Boussouf, Abou and Nawal Lagraa, Sylvain Groud, among others. Now an associate artist at Théâtre Louis Aragon, and formerly at the CCN du Havre, she continues to explore how bodies transform, disturb and gather.
