The choreographies created by Brice Leroux have the remarkable power to “ allow us to perceive phenomena which usually remain invisible”. This time, the choreographer considers the body as two completely independent parts: the upper sphere (above the waist) and the lower sphere. In the upper part, the chest can lean forwards, backwards or sideways. Below, the weight of the body can be shifted from one leg to the other. The legs will be able to bend, to straighten, or else to be elevated on demi-pointe. Given such a strict grammar one might fear a drastic reduction or an off-putting barrenness of movement. On the contrary, this precipitate of fundamental elements of motion develops into the infinite combination of an incredible choreographic language, which enables the body to compose a rich metaphysical poetry. And the choreography seems to be handing the world a minimalist looking glass, in which the eruption of a major sensory and philosophical experience, an out of this world event, can be mirrored.
