Creation 2019

À Mon Bel Amour questions our perception of the individual, the couple and the collective. Four men and four women, toy nonchalantly, strike poses, assert their identity and challenge the limits of our gaze. Eight virtuoso dancers with different cultural references, playing different archetypes. From classical ballet to voguing, krumping, popping, contemporary dance and waacking, their movements allude to fashion shows, clubbing scene, or photographic and cinematographic representation, as well as society’s trappings.

Everything is symbolic, not just movements and posture, but also appearances. Daring to show off, be flirtatious or dominating, to show love… everyone transcends themselves in order to exist. In a world where we struggle to agree on values, can we find a consensus on the concept of beauty?
