L’Epaulette by Alexander Vantournhout / Not Standing

2020/2022

L’Epaulette is part of the upcoming production TWICE#2 , supported by Le Gymnase CDCN.

“In TWICE, Alexander Vantournhout continues his research on movement within physical limitations and the relationship between performer and clothing. On stage, the two dancers begin by interpreting Steve Reich's complex Clapping Music score. The bodies, supported by musical pulses, then enter the dance, constrained by hidden or visible costume elements (tight skirts, shoulder pads, heeled shoes...) that transform and restrict movement, but also disproportionate the appearance of the body.”

Concept and Direction : Alexander Vantournhout

Choreographic Assistance : Emmi Väisänen
