I wanted to do a contemporary reading of this choreographic work, emphasizing the condition of women and the place of women in our society today. Also, I wanted Colombine to be able to represent this independent and strong woman ... but the character is tormented. Under the pressure of a possessive and severe father, she will be forced to give up her life, her loving feelings. Colombine will resign herself to marrying Gilles while her heart beats for Harlequin who will remain only an escape route for the beautiful young girl. Scaramouche, for his part, will be able to undertake all the stratagems and tricks: incantations, various beliefs, money… he will not succeed in conquering Colombine's heart. Only true uncontrolled and spontaneous feelings give birth to love
