Danse : Shibuya

Lionel Bègue

Shibuya is the busy square that often comes to mind when we think of Tokyo: 2.4 million people cross it every day on foot, without brushing against each other, in a millimetric ballet regulated by traffic lights. What if, all of a sudden, glances were to meet? what if, in contact with the other, each person?s path were to be diverted?
Lionel Bègue creates a spellbinding piece in which, through subtle variations of choreographic writing, each of the seven dancers, at first walking indifferently, gradually moves into sensitive, tactile places? The bodies, gradually disguising themselves under layers of clothing, paradoxically reveal their desires and intimacies, throughout a hypnotic, sensual performance, like a tribute to encounters and deviations.
