SOULEVEMENT (UPRISING)
Since March 9, 2018
A get-together between friends turns absurd. Can exaggeration lead to poetry ?
Soulèvement (uprising) : Action of lifting upwards. Movement of the Earth’s crust. Movement of indignation. Movement of revolt.
Following a 6 day (33hours) masterclass at ISDAT school (Toulouse), Pierre Rigal creates a short dance piece with the students in contemporary dance.
In this work, Pierre Rigal stages a kind of widespread exaggeration of social beha-viours. A reunion between friends seems to multiply infinitely… As if keeping the lid on a pressure cooker ready to explode.
The 11 dancers mix voice and movement to progress towards their goal, action and uprising by interlacing and cog-wheeling their bodies.
