Transire
Cancelled
Transire is inspired by the play Le jeune homme et la mort, a libretto written by Jean Cocteau and choreographed by Roland Petit for the first time in 1946. It tells the story of the suicide of a poor young painter following the break-up with his lover. A contemporary reading of Cocteau’s drama, this revisit is a true dance suite of the work. A kind of poetic and physical metaphor that translates into rupture, failure and grieving that is both minor and deep. These are presented as an opportunity to be seized, to rise up and begin a beneficial transformation.
In his first choreographic work, Mikaël Xystra Montminy offers us a touching duet with interpreter Odile-Amélie Peters in a unique style that combines Wudang kung fu, ballet, breakdance and contemporary dance.
