Dancers from Asia (3) – Kazutomi ‘Tsuki’ Kozuki from Japan

That was still within the initial year of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly before the second lockdown in France. In front of Théâtre National de Bretagne in Rennes, Kazutomi ‘Tsuki’ Kozuki walked toward me with a takeaway coffee in hand. Apart from the crew cut, he looked unchanged compared to the first time I saw him …

Delay the Sadness

Au rythme ternaire, la routine continue Un chagrin traverse mon visage de poupéeVite défroissé sous les mainsSeul, on est ensembleA un degré moindre, j'entends mieux l'inquiétude Devant le miroir, les larmes tombentMon corps toujours oppresséJ'entends les clochesL'adrénaline monte Puis vient la colère Je suis l'ennemi de moi-mêmeavec mon fusil sans balles La nausée se prépareDe …

北京雷动天下现代舞团《洪荒》

摄于2025年8月长沙 西装,扭曲嘴脸,转椅,牛马生活已经刻板,刻意的是西装上的裂缝和转椅上的彩喷。二次元造型罗汉般现身,面罩对仗特殊时期,护背旗踩着电动独轮。 现实生活必须强加开天辟地,剩下几个“纪”的空泛潦草。 情感呢?我只能回顾金星舞团《不期而别》的动人瞬间。力量呢?我会比照贾樟柯《野火》中意味深长的结尾。 当符号只是符号,只剩洪荒无力。形本可以玩到飞起,情也能与观众共鸣,偏偏应试逻辑上身,连窦唯的音乐和多变的灯光也不能拯救。这是我们的悲哀,还是时代的悲哀?

内容时代(Age of Content)

车在吠,人在追。一样的装束,一样的欲望。人造的世界,只是为了满足人类对掌控的渴望。现实又何尝不是一样?一追再追。 欲望浇灌出的我们又渴望变得不一样,用玲琅满目的游戏装备量化个性和品味。然后,我们又在不一样中相互吸引分化,结帮拉派。没有帮派,何来冲突?没有冲突,何来掌控的满足?现实照进虚拟,重蹈覆辙。 社交媒体模糊了现实与虚拟,一指无缝切换。我们既是真身,又是那方寸间的另一个分身。不到一分钟的时间是微不足道的,但当(LA)HORDE把我们聚集整合,那何尝不是Philip Glass笔下重复动机的最佳呼应?我仿若置身百老汇,怀旧,喜悦。 每个时代都有内容。(LA)HORDE属于这个时代,并用他们的方式记录下了属于这个时代的内容。 《内容时代(Age of Content)》是(LA)HORDE为法国马赛国家芭蕾舞团打造的最新作品 。自2019年起接手舞团后,(LA)HORDE虽一直饱受争议,但的确让迟暮的舞团焕发生机,巡演不断。

INK

8pm. Living room. Music, friends, drinks and food. Muffled thunder. I walked in the unlit bedroom and opened the window, smelling the gentle rain in which stood a black-clothed man. When watering the land with a hose, he encounters a dying octopus. After a bite, he retains it in a fish tank. He takes a …

Alice Ripoll – un regard, une posture – portrait de chorégraphe

Alice a toujours été curieuse du mouvement du corps. A son adolescence, sa connaissance de la danse se limitait au , compagnie brésilienne de danse contemporaine. Introvertie et timide, Alice aimait explorer des mouvements et postures toute seule dans sa chambre. « Il ne s’agit pas du tout de danse» dit-elle. Elle n’a appris les …

Immersive for Whom? A Writer and Two Artists Discuss

From (LA)HORDE’s takeover of the Théâtre de Chaillot to Nadia Vadori-Gauthier’s trio at the Musée d’Art Moderne of Paris, immersive performances have featured prominently this season in Paris. This is not a new form in the history of dance, but its dynamism is reaching new audiences today. The dance writer Hang Huang met the Italian …
