Bliss

recorded at the CND 16 January 2015

For this new percussive and exhilarating creation, Anthony Égéa returns to the roots of hip hop dance and his own writing: transposing the world of night clubs onto the stage, BLISS offers an immersion into the extravagances of these places, where dance is distinguished through a current, hybrid form of movement. Against electronic music, a real link between sensations and movements, the piece follows the path of individuals whose stories are revealed, cross paths, and miss one another. The relationships with bodies and appearances multiply, somewhere between lightness and solid gestures. The audience is invited to blend into the feverish world of tribal dance, where one’s identity can get lost in the contagion. BLISS is the journey of one night, where dance finds itself again and is fuelled by an intensive, hungry, stubborn intoxication, with a mixed-up and energetic movement.
