NO OCO / STATIC SHOT

Two generations of choreographers, two different artistic journeys which have already crossed paths, will be sharing the bill with the same yearning to draw on the energy of the dancers of the CCN – Ballet de Lorraine. With NO OCO, Loïc Touzé invites us to explore that which forms our movements in the space left vacant between our intentions and our abilities: in his view, a space where the imagination is at its freest. It is through this “void”—to which the title of the piece refers—that the performers interact together to weave the delicate, human canvas essential for standing as one in a faltering world. Maud Le Pladec continues her research into the human physique and choreographic composition. With STATIC SHOT she invites us to discover a cinematographic piece, a fixed frame in which movement and gazes never stop. Bodies are plunged into a continuous climax as a means to explore the multiple sensations of pleasure and rapture.
