Levée des conflits (extended)

Levée des conflits was first performed in 2010. For this extended version, the work is performed continuously over several hours by 24 dancers.

Comprising 25 movements, each movement is passed on from body to body, excluding one gesture at all time.

Visitors are invited to learn part of the piece with Boris Charmatz and the 24 dancers and perform it live.
