“Chance is the pseudonym God uses when He wants to remain anonymous.” (Albert Schweitzer)
Can we ever truly know all the causes and forces that ultimately led to the mountain being moved? Antonin Comestaz’s choreography Ah Oui? Pas. is a playground of constellations and countless unknown micro-processes that underlie events,
making their progression unpredictable to us. It is a dance piece whose principles also remain hidden: Are they coincidences, invisible details, or secret individual decisions? A small, unnoticed catalyst sets off a chain of dance (re)actions that ripple through and affect everyone.
