Vingt plus un

The show is a stroll against the flow which bounces back, a passage through the visual landscapes of a choreographic memory which reinvents itself for one evening and presents itself as a new suite overflowing with danced and poetic events to be shared.

“One particular evening, between twenty one production seasons and ten years in Normandy, and all falling on October 21st by some strange coincidence. Twenty Plus One is a dance performance, a stroll against the flow which bounces back, a passage through the sonic and visual landscapes of a choreographic memory which reinvents itself for one evening and presents itself as a new suite overflowing with danced and poetic events to be shared. Somewhere between docu-fiction and an anthology of new choreographies, this show is also the opportunity to reunite the wonderful dancers who have worked with me over ten years. They have performed and incarnated all these dances, which have constantly been reworked, with virtuosity. Novel gestures, unusual body states, all artistic statements that have been explored and nurtured by interaction with an audience. Birthdays?
There is an age at which…one prefers the momentum and adventure of the next encounter, another step along the way to tell your story and reinvent it. In Twenty Plus One, the most important part is the “plus one”.
Neither melancholy nor nostalgia, and even less recycling. But the pleasure of taking up the work again with the help of a whole team of artists, putting the works, their subjects and natures in perspective, composing a new scenario, and presenting this new show which I hope will enchant this autumn evening…”
