Steptext (version studio)
Version studio, with no light, no set et no costume, presented during “La Fabrique” : workshops, repertory, video installation and posters with the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon on 10 December 2016 at the CN D in Pantin.
“A departure from the mechanics of the theatrical ritual, “Steptext” attempts to suspend the mechanisms, so fundamental as accessories, of the execution of the performance which has determined the structure of the stage performance. It produces a series of musical, scenographic and choreographic “suspenses”, which create an environment of charged narration (for a woman and three men).”
William Forsythe
“Endless stretches, 360° ronds de jambe, grands jetés just above the ground while turning around their partner. Four dancers as tense as the strings on Bach’s violin, whose austere and harrowing beauty goes so well with Forsythe’s futuristic dance.”
