What can dance - ephemeral by its very nature - do in the face of time?
That is the question asked in the second part of Catherina Sagna's diptych P.O.M.P.E.I.
Here we have three dancers fighting against their own bodies and a video installation showing women of various ages and shapes. Yielding a work, 'which like a city buried under lava incarnates the mystery of form’.
