also playing: Plaid (Warp), Lorenzo Bianchi, Benjamin Carey, Jean Lochard
Gaîté Lyrique, grande salle
3bis, rue Papin
75003 Paris
The duo between Hans Leeuw and Diemo Schwarz creates a dialectic between the age-old gesture of the musician and its digital transformation and critique, a pathway between the acoustic instrument and a recontextualising synthetic interaction at the heart of our times.

Première of Blanc Brut by Cie. Atmen, Étoile du Nord, Paris
World premiere of Intérieur Crème, Acte II: Blanc Brut by choreographer Françoise Tartinville, Cie. Atmen, live music by Frédéric Blondy and Diemo Schwarz, at the Etoile du Nord theatre. With Marguerite Lantz, Françoise Tartinville (scenography), Fabien Almakiewicz, Cyril Geeroms (dance), Boris Molinié (lights).
See the interview with choreographer Françoise Tartinville on Blanc Brut.
Blanc Brut, deuxième volet d’Intérieur Crème, est une approche du masculin – considéré dans son volume, sa matière, ses aspérités – sous l’angle d’un regard féminin. Deux « physicalités » se déploient sur scène : deux forces, qui tantôt s’assemblent, formant une même entité organique mouvante et multiple, et qui tantôt se partagent en deux entités à la fois opposées mais interdépendantes.
Il s’agit d’explorer les ressorts pulsionnels des corps, le mouvement brut, puissant, charnel et instinctif et d’en suivre les flux, les trajectoires communes, les architectures imaginaires.
Les mouvements sont abrupts puis s’enroulent, se répandent pour s’épuiser jusqu’à l’étourdissement, laissant émerger les états intérieurs du danseur.
