Contemporary Dance
6:30 p.m: Doors open - Cocktail bar (cash only) and complimentary food available.
7:30 p.m: REMOVING (remixed) performed by Lucas Bassereau, Anna Massoni, Nans Pierson & Noé Soulier
In this piece, Soulier seeks to explore actions motivated by a practical purpose such as hitting, avoiding or reaching. Unlike movements determined geometrically or mechanically, dancers share a vocabulary of gestures with the audience. The result is a fascinating composition interlaced with organized solos and duos. Soulier’s gesture approach is always puzzling, questioning one’s perception and certainties.
