“This story is about an artistic process, nourished by the beauty and frailty of nature, propelled by scientific research, reoriented by destiny…”
Summer of 2020. Marine Chesnais, a contemporary dance choreographer and dancer, travels to Reunion Island to find humpback whales. Improvised dances arise from those interactions in the deep blue, and they’ll be a fertile ground for her next creation. This film was shot while free diving, and it is a choreographic and hypnotic journey that takes us to the underwater world, holding our breath, following the steps of this original project. By showing us the process of finding a wild animal in its natural habitat, Habiter le seuil asks what happens to us in this relational space where we don’t have control over anything—except our openness to what may happen—and questions our way of life.
