les lieux de là

Places from there (les lieux de là) travels through the language ofsound by way of imaginary spaces. The focus is on the figure of thechorus. A chorus of community, through mythical, ordinary, singularfigures and a pictorial of masses.
This choreography for twelve dancers and one musician is the result ofan exceptional collaboration based on original music composed by heinergoebbels.
With a set comprised of walls and cardboard on a reflective dancefloor, the poetic abstraction of the dancers and the live music ofheiner goebbels are closely mixed to translate the necessary emotionand humanism as an essential attitude.

This choreographic diary has been developed over a two year period. Les non lieux and Dans les plis has been respectively created at montpellier danse 98 and at the théâtre de la ville - paris, in april 99. The last part Quelque part, quelqu’un has been premiered at the théâtre de la ville, within the framework of the festival d’automne in paris, last november 30 and december 1.2, 1999.
It is an acclaimed international tour in such notorious venues and festivals all over the world.
