Danse : Crowd

Description

Gisèle Vienne

A masterpiece in the work of Gisèle Vienne, Crowd crystallizes the scenic and thematic obsessions of a director who is well-versed in exploring the ambivalent landscape of our desires and fantasies, always on the edge between Eros and Thanatos. In her aesthetically powerful shows, youth, sensuality and morbidity come together in a rarely equaled climax. In Crowd, the argument is simple, reduced to the essential: a group of young people get together for a rave party. The dancefloor is an open-air wasteland. The stories that unfold, the electric tension, the power of attraction, the inevitable violence, all pass through fevered bodies, the hubs of our primal impulses. To the sound of bewitching electronic music, the rhythm of the male and female dancers of the night distorts, speeds up or slows down, the trance operates and offers hypnotic and hallucinatory visions of fatal beauty.
