Monuments in Motion - Screws and Stones

Choreographer Alexander Vantournhout directs and challenges the body with Screws and Stones at La Conciergerie de Paris.  The dance performance Screws and Stones refers to the pianist Nils Frahm’s 2011 album. At that time, he had broken several fingers and couldn’t play the piano anymore. He composed some pieces for each finger so he could keep on playing. It inspired Alexander Vantournhout a surrealistic universe where physical items reduce the movement capacity of the performers and influence the choreography. It is an astonishing painting of the body skills. Choreography : Alexander Vantournhout – From the SCREWS performance Music : Nils Frahm Dancers : Josse De Broeck, Petra Steindl, Emmi Väisänen, Hendrik Van Maele, Alexander Vantournhout, Felix Zech

Monuments in motion - Duo

The Duo is the opportunity for Emanuel Gat to concentrate on a form that leads to a return to essentials. The limited possibilities for composition imposed by the restricted number of dancers requires a return to basics. The attention given to movement and the creation of a powerful context become even more crucial elements.

Monuments in motion - Preljocaj Montmajour

As dusk falls, the dancers of the Ballet Preliocai invite the abbey’s visitors to a sensorial experience through the building, creative dance and time. They present an intimist approach to the setting in which they reveal the full amplitude of Angelin Preliocai’s vocabulary – a blend of metaphor, state of grace and contemplation.

Monuments in Motion - Variations

Justine Berthillot and Frédéri Vernier run, embrace, lift each other and fall… In a creative outburst that is unrestrained yet in symbiosis. A blend of strength and weakness, of exploit and respite, Noos is a duo that is both natural and highly sensitive.
