Two mirrored pieces that open the doors of the French contemporary dance network to young talented dancers.
Co-developed by the La Baraka company and the Edmond de Rothschild Foundations, the Premier(s) Pas programme is a springboard for professional dancers from multiple horizons. A magnificent chance for these ten performers. To participate in two creations on the same show first, but also to be individually accompanied for the management of their career afterwards. The two parts of the Premier(s) Pas show magnificently highlight, in an emancipatory dance, the diversity of each person’s language and talents. Signed by Nawal, the first opus combines contemporary, hip-hop, jazz and classical dance on a composition by Olivier Innocenti based on the famous Agnus Dei by Barber, whereas Abou has chosen Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for a piece that is at once feminine and masculine. A double deflagration. ISABELLE CALABRE
