EX-POSE(S)
Two duets follow one another, offering—with the performers right before the audience’s eyes—a joyful vision of sisterhood and then a unsettling take on brotherhood. The piece first explores the world of two sculptures by Henri Laurens, which guide the dancers’ bodies and from which they draw a repertoire of poses. By moving these figures with irony, they enter into an expressionist and whimsical composition. The image of struggle is at the heart of the male duo, embodied in Ousmane Sow’s Couple de lutteurs corps à corps. Between the opposition of forces and the fusion of energies, an encounter takes place where each measures and sizes up the other, based on their physical density and sensations.
Premiere on June 26, 2021, at the Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris
