CERCLES

Boris Charmatz invites the audience of the Festival to join him in a stadium to take part in an open-air workshop, between past and present. The choreographer explores the circle, a shape that has always haunted the memory of dance, whether traditional or modern, classical or contemporary. How can we give our round dances new dimensions? Conceived as a choreographic emergence developed over the course of days by 200 amateurs and professionals alike, CERCLES inaugurates a new space of research. In his desire to shake up our heritage and to allow himself to be moved, the choreographer dreams of extending our perception of dance by breaking away from the usual formats. He invites us into the heart of his process for this project. 

Boris Charmatz transmite una colección de danzas en círculo a un grupo de 200 aficionados y profesionales. Una eclosión coreográfica al aire libre que se construirá a lo largo de los días.
