Considering the metaphor of the compass and the mandala, the choreography develops mainly around the walking process. Circulation of words, of emotions, perceptions and senses connected to the action of moving.

Since about ten years, Léa Canu Ginoux draws her inspiration from Eastern philosophies. Yoga, Tao meditation are the foundations of her choreographic and artistic language. For BOUSSOLE, Léa Canu Ginoux invites various artists and teachers around an artistic collaboration. The Italian choreographer Giovanna Velardi contributes with her eyes and her "savoir-faire" to the choreographic score. The composer and musician Philippe Festou and Chikako Hosoda are involved in the music and sound score. The light designer Pascale Bongiovanni works on dramaturgy of the light through an installation. Walking, anchoring, meeting are the concept of the writing partitions that develope the choreographic, musical and scenic attitude of BOUSSOLE. How to deconstruct and reconstruct other lines starting with those of the compass? In this sense, the practice of mandala build an inner compass, to transform the space into a multi-directional space by the action of moving, re-orienting, opening new perspectives, new visions and new thoughts.
