Devised by Giulio Dujany, Pascaline Latour and Nicolas “Niols” Jeannerod in August 2019.
During Summer School 2019, we talked over lunch about the story of Niols writing his tune “En marchant pour aller photocopier des trucs”. This led to us devising this dance together to go along with it.

Recommended music: En marchant pour aller photocopier des trucs, by Nicolas “Niols” Jeannerod.
