Groupe Entorse
Artistic direction: Raphaëlle Latini
Creation: 2007
Since the founding of Groupe ENTORSE in 2007, Raphaëlle LATINI and Samuel LEFEUVRE have collaborated with artists from a wide range of fields (including dancers, actors and lighting designers), creating works which mix choreography, music, set design and lighting, and exploring all possible interactions.
In each piece, they insist on giving the same weight to the music, set and lighting elements they use as to the extreme physical states they use in the choreography.
It is collective work, fed by the perspective each artist brings to the materials offered by the others. Simultaneously performance, concert and installation, each work changes under the influences of its participants as well as the many possible interactions between them. In addition to this framework which is unique to the Groupe Entorse, the ability to improvize is strongly encouraged, bringing a unique flavor to each performance, involving the acceptance of a direct risk to the performers as well as for the spectators.
Groupe Entorse, founded by Raphaëlle Latini, has been resident in the region of Basse-Normandie since its inception. A network of loyal partners, both institutional and production partners, accompany the company. It is registered with the DRAC and the Basse-Normandie region for support in structuration and also receives support from the Conseil Général of Calvados, the city of Caen and ODIA.
