Corps extrêmes – At the Extremes of the Body
The circus of today meets contemporary dance, courtesy of this ensemble of athletes and artists!
French choreographer Rachid Ouramdane received acclaim for Möbius, which was staged in 2022 with Compagnie XY. Through virtuosic techniques like tightrope walking, Corps extrêmes evokes mid-air flight and states of weightlessness, with performers running up a huge white rock-climbing wall… The performance explores the appeal of bodies in extreme situations far removed from everyday life. As they dash nimbly across the stage, straddling sports and art, the acrobat-artists and athletes draw the audience into a world where documentary intersects with dreams.
