When The New York Times journalist Sam Anderson became aware of the death of the very last male Northern White Rhinocerous, he took a flight to Kenya to observe and narrate in detail the daily lives of the last two representatives of this species, which would disappear definitely from the earth when they died. The indifferent image of these individuals vis-à-vis the fate of their species gave the reporter a sense of peace, at a time of global uncertainty.

Gaston Core seeks, through a formal research of different styles of urban dance (Krumping, Finger Tutting, Waving, Afro …), to offer the image of the man who dances (Nico Yao Dapre alias Oulouy) because he has discovered, that, as Paul Valéry puts it, we have “too much energy for our needs”. That is, to present dance as excess, as a celebration derived from life. Dance to exhaustion, dance to the end because maybe there is nothing more that can be done.
