:: Choreography for 12 dancers

:: Approximate run time : 70 min

 :: Twelve dancers, twelve people in transit between two cities, between two worlds, where everything can change, where anything can happen: waiting, boredom, discovery, exchanges, meetings and links forged in a “neutral” impersonal and busy space, Characters who assert themselves express themselves, reveal their soul searching moods and interior follies, pushed by loudspeakers broadcasting music from time to time, the fastest and most exhilarating sounds of Bach rich with sounds that evoke waiting, daydreaming and introspective states.

I will ask Jean-Jacques Palix, composer and arranger, specializing in spacious and mysterious worlds, to create a spatial sound design of the concourse fromsoundtracks hunted down here and there.
Dominique Drillot, set and lighting designer, will recreate the atmosphere of a train station waiting area with metal chairs here and there. The dancers will evolve in this space flooded with hard light, in costumes inspired from city clothes of a variety of colors: red, white, black and gray.

With this new piece, I will bring the company dancers to a new energy based on quality, velocity and virtuosity in a new way of managing body weight.
