Do antecedents and initial conditions necessitate all life events? Or does chaos have a word to say in the equation? "Chance is God walking around incognito." This quote attributed to Albert Einstein is the starting inspiration for Antonin. In "Ah oui? Pas." Antonin humorously negotiates the old debate between Chance and determinism. The six dancers, as if part of a quantum physics experiment, interact in a cascading chain reaction of events like human particles. Their puzzle-like games sometimes seem to result from a root cause; at other times, they seem probabilistic. Yet, coincidence and apparent chance have unexpected effects and the potential to alter the future. The invisible individual decisions influence movements within the group, and suddenly, the whole landscape is changed.
