DAMIEN JALET

KITES

A world traveler and multi-talented artist, Damien Jalet is a sensation in today’s choreography scene. A long-time collaborator of Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, his path crossed those of Madonna, filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson and visual artist Kohei Nawa. His visceral and spiritual pieces celebrate the anima; Kites renew his leap of faith towards vital forces’ ability to resist.

IMRE AND MARNE VAN OPSTAL

TO KINGDOM COME (temporary title)

Dutch siblings and artists Imre and Marne van Opstal form an effervescent duo whose work explores the limits of the human body and psyche. The eclecticism of their language feeds into a theatrical and instinctive dance. To Kingdom Come (temporary title) follows in the footsteps of a shared traumatic experience between a person and their environment. When everything is destroyed, from which image can we start to rebuild ourselves?
