Working on Peter Pan is to loose yourself into a childhood’s world, a world of frailty, of carelessness, a world of dreams. It is also to question yourself on this world that refuses adulthood, a world constantly threatened by reality.

According to us, Régis Loisel’s work is accurate, realistic, it reveals what other versions have hidden. We needed a Peter Pan made of flesh, far from this too-famous young green man. A free child but also a confused one… And beyond that remains an invitation for a journey towards an imaginary world, a rebellion against the duty of growing up.

The art of the cartoonist, his characters, his balloons, his sets and their colours, made us want to choreograph his story, to humanize the drawing by putting it in 3D: what would be the body language of Peter Pan? How would he be embodied in his comings and goings between dream and reality? How can dance explore the body of this child who reluctantly changes?
