In Belgium, 2024 was the year with the highest rainfall since 1833. Through this research, I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of what rain does to us, as human beings, but also to our environment. —Ondine Cloez

Bringing together notebook entries, scientific information, reflections, and shared practices, Ondine Cloez gathers here the traces of her research. In a reading that enters into dialogue with water, where words document as much as they inspire, a form of knowledge emerges—one shaped by porosity, questioning, and attentiveness to the world.

This is the strength of Été pourri, recherche sur la pluie dans le Brabant wallon conveying a specific form of knowledge carried by dance.

In 2026, Contredanse and Charleroi danse joined forces to launch the Collection éclats, dedicated to promoting dance research and disseminating knowledge emerging from the choreographic field in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Through a series of short publications, the Collection éclats contributes to the development of resources and the sharing of ideas rooted in dance practices and cultures.
