Helikopter : Although when Angelin Preljocaj first heard the Helikopter Quartet of Stockhausen, he felt that the partition, with each turn of the propeller, was eroding the very foundations of a rapport between music and dance, the second time he heard them, the choreographer felt a "jubilatory desire to get closer to the interlacing of the helicopter's turbines and the glissendi of the Quatuor Arditti". And he set out to expose six dancers to the "technorganic" and unbridled rhythms of this piece.
Mc 14/22 : This is a research project comprising the twelve male dancers of the company.
- Work on "the masculine"
- Work giving emphasis to the body.
The stage is punctuated by six tables (Work ? Dissecting tables ? Indexes ?). It is a space where questions are asked, where recurrent intensity is put before a world where galloping virtuality is overtaking physical experience.
