EXHIBITION - PERFORMANCE (2012)

RÃ‰TROSPECTIVE Ã€ LA VILLETTE

The company occupied the Grande Halle de la Villette for six explosive weeks with:

A retrospective exhibition calling on visitors to go for a walk through the dream-like world of the company. Costumes, early design drafts, machinery, video clips, music...

A kaleidoscopic exhibition, Opticon, whereby the artist, surrounded by his many accomplices, unveils his playful and somewhat deranged universe, revealing at the same time his love for visual inventions and gadgetry and the wonderful mechanical effects from the world of dance and cinema. Guided tours and concerts complement cheerfully this set of hitherto unseen installations.

Two performance-events complete this extraordinary project: Panorama, a new performance borrowing material that the company has been playing with over the last three decades, and Solo, danced by Philippe Decouflé as a homage to fantasy and dance. It's a stripped down piece intended especially for the pleasure of those followers who have always shown an interest in his most outlandish projects.
