ENTROPIE is a choreographic work that engages with notions of cultural continuity, energetic systems, and embodied knowledge. Positioned at the intersection of Guadeloupean tradition and contemporary dance, the piece extends a research trajectory rooted in the physicality and musicality of Gwo-Ka, interrogating how ancestral forms can inform and expand the vocabulary of global contemporary performance.

ENTROPIE draws from François Roddier’s thermodynamic framework — particularly the role of entropy as a structuring principle within open systems. By juxtaposing the physical laws governing energy dissipation with choreographic processes, the work situates the dancing body as both a site of resistance and transformation. It reflects on how sociocultural identities are entangled with larger ecological, technological, and historical forces.

Through this lens, ENTROPIE becomes a performative inquiry into instability, transmission, and renewal - proposing choreography as a means to think through entropy not as decline, but as a generative force.
