The group
Accords perdus (Paris Île-de-France)
Consisting of psychomotor specialists, the group Accords perdus seeks to explore the link between dance and psychomotricity, by questioning the body fundamentals such as flux, weight, shape, fall, and link. Since 2014, the group has met regularly to lead workshops around a creation, allowing triggering of specific notions, such as weight, in the piece ”Solides” with the company Catherine Diverrès in 2017. The group also conducts laboratory work geared towards improvisation and choreographic writing.
The project
Eight men striking the ground, spinning, falling, united by a haunting rhythm. ”D’après une histoire vraie” is the result of a moment of revelation: before a traditional men’s dance, Christian Rizzo had the intuition of a group of men linked by a set of shared gestures. Steered by this imaginary horizon, he gave form to a dance of the earth, intimately tied to the rhythm that shakes the stage. An abstract rite, powered by the energy of the two drummers, blurring the boundaries between folk and contemporary music, the solitude and intensity of the group.
