The piece “@” deals in parallel with two worlds which do not touch but which cause a domination of our state of consciousness in an increasingly globalized culture.

This parallel between colonialism on the one hand and the exploitation of the digital world on the other, is presented in the play by a dialogue between two characters, "@" and "Bwa Boulé", which ultimately leads to revealing both the limits and the futilities specific to the current system.

In the play, @ is a character imagined as a metaphor for the victims of colonialism.
Indeed, originally, the @ was used as a measurement symbol in certain cultures. Today, each of us recognizes it exclusively as a symbol of electronic mail and more generally as a symbol of modern communication. WE redefined it. WE have given it another life, another identity, WE exploit it or overexploit it for our own purposes.

Faced with vital adaptation, how does @ live and react?

In the léwòz, a Guadeloupean cultural event, the dancer enters a circle in close contact with one of the percussionists, the makè, who improvises from the rhythms of the Gwo-Ka.

In this specific relationship, the dancer does not simply follow the makè. He suggests and imposes changes and risk-taking in the creation of musical development.

This special place given to dance, in symbiotic dialogue with music, is at the heart of Léo Lérus' research.

This workshop is an opening to a certain sense of groove, to an awareness in the choice of the dancer's movements and their impact on their environment, to create a musical body.

La pièce chorégraphique ENTROPIE part de deux éléments constitutifs:

La continuation de la démarche de recherche, que l’on retrouve dans les travaux chorégraphiques de Léo Lérus : cette recherche a toujours été de développer une conscience, une connaissance, une signature et des outils concernant une présence en tant que créateur guadeloupéen dans le monde de la danse contemporaine. C’est une poursuite chorégraphique visant une danse contemporaine directement liée à la musicalité et à la physicalité que l’on trouve dans le Gwo-Ka, et dans d’autres danses caribéennes et correspondant à des sujets, des thématiques autour du Léwoz, du carnaval, de l’identité guadeloupéenne. La démarche s’inscrit dans la continuation de la culture guadeloupéenne à travers les travaux d’autres artistes guadeloupéens. Ceci pour contribuer à l'essor de la danse contemporaine en Guadeloupe, tout en collaborant en profondeur avec des artistes internationaux issus de cultures diverses, et avec le souhait d’introduire de nouveaux outils que propose la technologie actuelle.

Le livre “Thermodynamique de l’évolution : Un essai de Thermo-Bio-Sociologie”. Pour son auteur, le scientifique François Roddier, “Ce livre adresse un message aux générations actuelles et futures. L’Histoire montre que chaque fois qu’une société est en crise, elle cherche des coupables et désigne des boucs émissaires. Ce livre désigne le vrai coupable : les lois de la mécanique statistique contre lesquelles nous sommes individuellement impuissants. Nos souffrances sont dues à l’entropie liée à notre méconnaissance des lois de l’univers”.

Dans ce livre, en partant des lois fondamentales il nous montre que concernant l’énergie, comme chacun le sait, rien ne se crée, rien ne se perd, et que tout système ouvert suit toujours le même processus concernant son utilisation de son énergie. Cette loi s’applique autant à l’univers, à notre planète, à tout être biologique, à toute civilisation animale et humaine. Cette tendance aboutit à ce que l’on appelle l’entropie, généralement considérée comme le chaos.

The choreographic piece *ENTROPIE* is based on two key elements:

The continuation of the research approach, which can be found in the choreographic works of Léo Lérus. This research has always aimed to develop an awareness, knowledge, signature, and tools regarding the presence of a Guadeloupean creator in the world of contemporary dance. It is a choreographic pursuit aiming for a contemporary dance directly linked to the musicality and physicality found in Gwo-Ka and other Caribbean dances, corresponding to subjects and themes around Léwoz, carnival, and Guadeloupean identity. The approach is part of the continuation of Guadeloupean culture through the works of other Guadeloupean artists. The goal is to contribute to the growth of contemporary dance in Guadeloupe, while collaborating deeply with international artists from diverse cultures, and with the desire to introduce new tools offered by current technology.

The book *Thermodynamics of Evolution: An Essay on Thermo-Bio-Sociology*. For its author, the scientist François Roddier, "This book carries a message to current and future generations. History shows that whenever a society is in crisis, it looks for culprits and designates scapegoats. This book points out the real culprit: the laws of statistical mechanics against which we are individually powerless. Our suffering is due to entropy, which is linked to our ignorance of the laws of the universe."

In this book, starting from fundamental laws, he shows us that regarding energy, as everyone knows, nothing is created, nothing is lost, and every open system always follows the same process concerning its use of energy. This law applies equally to the universe, our planet, every biological being, and all animal and human civilizations. This tendency leads to what is called entropy, commonly considered as chaos.
