The occasion to discover or rediscover this show created in 2017 and that has since then accumulated laudatory critiques and obtained international renown.
10000 gestes is a grandiose piece, bringing together a sumptuous cast of twenty-two dancers on Mozart’s Requiem. Boris Charmatz holds the challenge of his title and delves us into a whirlwind of unique gestures whose guiding principle is never to repeat itself. In this way, the spectator witnesses a turbulent outpouring, a fascinating swell, with magnificent swirling crossings. Gestures journeying through choreographic as well as pictorial history. Boris Charmatz allows several fulgurating images to emerge in this intense flow: a Descent from the Cross, a souvenir from Géricault's Radeau de la Méduse… This incredible performance that drives dance into a corner, combines beauty and virtuosity, where the energy freed from the bodies is only equalled by its silent serenity.
