From the jury
“Have a Safe Travel refuses to fall into victimhood, nor is it just a call to outrage. The pain caused by structural racism is made tangible, not simply presented. It’s the body that speaks – and that makes it all the more confronting.”
Eli undergoes his first racial profiling.
Immersed in the memory of this mundane but violent event, we discover what the first procedures of an oppressive system are.
In this first solo, the choreographer was able to transform the systemic violence he experienced into a strong and unique performative material developed with the help of the De Caelo technique. This technique, conceptualized by the artist himself, consists in leaving an important place to emotional intelligence, situated knowledge and improvisation. But it also calls on the tools of astrology, the sky charts and to perceive how the stars can inform us about our bodies.

Reviews
"A naked, vulnerable and primal body always in motion. Herein lies the power of this intimate and at the same time space-filling performance."
