Danse : Braises

What kind of ore is mined from a choreographer’s career? How many movements, moments, moments of elation, or moments of doubt make up four decades of dance? Michel Kelemenis answers these questions by igniting a blazing fire stoked by seven performers who are also the choreographer’s longtime collaborators.

Exploring the embers… What was first stoked sometimes smolders for a long time before reigniting much later! Here, seven dancers burst into flame in a defiant reimagining of gestures long forgotten, preserved as emotions in the tens of thousands of spectators’ gazes. The choreographer entrusts his performers with a legacy of dances so that, through the metamorphosis of their personal stories, the fire of a new poetic vitality may be reborn. Between moments of joy and astonishment, the artists transform this blaze into an energy that generates dazzling splendor. BRAISES calls for a transfiguration. Nothing spiritual or esoteric—just a reflection on time and transmission, on who we are and what we do, within the transience of a danced expression.
