Wamma Dance Company
Wamma is a contemporary dance company founded by Marion Plantey in 2018 when she was only 20 years old. Today, the company's main goal is to give universal access to contemporary art, breaking the prés-jugés suggesting that it is for aficionados. In recent times, Wamma focuses on smaller and more intimate formations to communicate the otherwise often so inexpressible.

MEET ME
Choreographie: Marion Plantey
Dance/Performance: Marion Plantey

Due to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, millions of people are facing strict restrictions to their everyday lives. Meet Me explores the impact of such drastic changes on the way our social interactions are shaped, and on our ability to interact with one another. During a full improvisation performance, Francois Heun (Saxophonist) and Marion Plantey (Dancer) evolve together through the confusion of intimate and distanced moments, expressing their encountered emotions in sincerest honesty, mirroring the social changes we are all experiencing.
MIND MAP
Choreographie: Marion Plantey
Dance/Performance: Marion Plantey
Based on mental health diseases, this creation from December 2020, goes through the struggle of heavy thoughts and confusion one can experience enduring depression, anxiety, stress, or even addiction. By living with those mental health disabilities, one can find himself lost between the unconformable emotions and thoughts from their sickness, the worry of social judgment, as well as their distorted self-perspective.
HÈLIANTHE
Choreographie: Marion Plantey
Dance/Performance: Wassilissa Gutzwiller; Alina Groder; Marta Mestres Casadesús; Anna Martens; Marion Plantey
Hélianthe is the first creation of Wamma Dance Company. This production explores the image of women in modern society. The dancers are shifting between different expectations women can endure during their lives. They go from strength to sensitivity, distorting the shapes of bienséance, finding their animal selves. They play among ideologies and mold they are supposed to fit in, denouncing, between emotions and humor, the ridiculous and terrible pressure women endure.
