Fantasie minor

Above all, two dan­cers, who take over the stage as if they were con­quer­ing a vacant space. In all their heav­i­ness, they assume their con­tra­dic­tions in response to the sug­ges­tions of the twirl­ing notes of the music: bad-boy atti­tudes, bent backs, legs spread wide… These bod­ies are not to be trifled with. How­ever, it doesn’t take much for the light­ness of Schubert’s Fantasy in F minor to become a play­ground for these two per­formers exper­i­enced in urb­an dance. Pick­ing up the rhythm with twitch­ing shoulders or legs, but also launch­ing into a pas de deux that is equally fraternal and com­pet­it­ive, all in lifts, glissés, piqués and dis­tor­ted pointes…

With cho­reo­graph­er Marco da Silva Fer­reira, the weight of the bod­ies, the weight of the music and the weight of the clas­sic­al or hip hop codes are lif­ted to offer new vari­ations, and invent a new space for shar­ing open to sens­ib­il­it­ies. From fra­gile attempts to vir­tu­oso absurdit­ies, anoth­er vis­ion of grace.
