CONTRARY COUPLE

What could a mixed couple’s dance look like? Would it be about chords and harmonics or about broken lines in a fragmented space? Contemporary dancers, originating from the hip hop tradition, Sébastien Ramirez et Hyun-Jung Wang draw from their parallel experiences the material for their duo Monchichi, and set it up against the enigma of cultural differences. “Our couple is made of a Frenchman with Catalan and Spanish roots, living in Germany and a German-Korean girl born in Germany. Identities pile up in our lives.” From one sequence to the next, with the unifying presence of a silhouetted tree with bare branches, the man and the woman hide and seek, put on make-up, quarrel or seduce each other. Those numerous contrasts are fluidly linked by the choreography and extolled by Everydayz/+∞’s music and Cyril Mulon’s subtle lights.
