« I never expect to lose even when I’m the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech. »

UNDERDOG
An English term designating a person in adversity or in a position of inferiority, who may be affected by social or political injustice. The Underdog can also be a competitor whose chances of victory appear slim, but he is not a victim of the position he is given. On the contrary, he uses the fact that he is not taken seriously to get where he is not expected.
The UNDERDOG Project, has for main goal the production of the choreographic work of Alexis Jestin. With a deep research linked to the curiosity of human and artistic experiences, his identity redefines itself according to each project and its new challenges.
Fighting together, supporting each others, using our flaws and weaknesses as strengths will allow us to find a cohesion with our time, the society, and its environment. It will be essential to go to zones of discomfort, of danger, of unknown or marginal spaces. To engage and to shake up the obvious, to de-construct and listen to one's intuitions, to fantasize a better world,
to destroy and build again.
This could be the constitution of UNDERDOG Project.
Play with all these philosophical aspects,
sociological and psychogeographical elements to lose all sense of it
for re-inventing a new one.
