Early 20th century. Singer Marie Toulinguet has lost her voice. Deeply affected by this personal tragedy, she is haunted by frightening memories of her childhood in Newfoundland (Canada). She remembers an Indian doll, a gift from her mother. It was made by a maid named Shanawdithit, the last survivor of the Beothuk Indians. As Marie relives her loss of voice, a bond is reestablished between her and the Indian woman who is dead. Through this enigmatic relationship, Marie can reconcile herself with her past and perhaps invent a future.

Movie7.0In musical terminology, the term " study " designates pieces to approach a specific problem : study for arpeggios, for the left-handed etc. The question here is how to merge dancing footage with elements of fiction. What is the right tone, the golden proportion to tell/dance the stories without resorting to techniques of a musical or a ballet ? New ways of telling a story: this is, without a doubt, a critical challenge for dance today. Twenty-one micro fictions by four Cie Michèle Anne De Mey dancers in witch the educational aspect of experimentation soon gives way to the pleasur of joyful poetics: an original blend of tender insolence and srtict elegance.
