Children’s audience / 2008

Assisted by a gestural script designed especially for a children’s audience, Bal A-B proposes divers points of view concerning identity and our relation to otherness.  Between theatrical stylization and abstraction, A and B, the two characters of this choreographed “tale”, evolve in a relationship where one becomes the reflection of the other.  Their corporal interrogations push to manipulation, contortion and testing to discover and know one another better.

Through its refined script, Bal A-B allows a children’s audience discover the playful, creative potential and exchange through the celebration of dance and the body.
