Presentation

Bénédicte Le Lamer and Pascal Kirsch, who founded the pEqUOd company in 2003, continue their cycle based on Vaslav Nijinsky's diaries proposing a new form, a new variation on the star dancer's withdrawal into the Guardamunt villa where he devoted himself to writing – shortly before he was interned. From dance to writing, from music to silence, from the dazzle of life to long years of isolation, Guardamunt 55' gives tangible substance, in the form of a concert, to a poem by Nijinsky, taking us into territories with shifting borders, those of an intimacy overflowing with sensitivity.
