VERTICALE DE POCHE – First time in Germany
CIE RETOURAMONT (F)

A walk-on structure at a height of 2.50 meters, two dancers and the overcoming of gravity – these are the ingredients for this vertical experiment. In their duet, the two of them amaze the audience with their gliding, flying and spinning movements, getting very close to the ground and yet showing no sign of gravity. What seems normal at dizzying heights is all the more astonishing so close to the audience. A play with unusual perspectives and incredible freedom of movement.

The Compagnie Retouramont is considered a pioneer of danse verticale. Its artistic director Fabrice Guillot is a professional climber, which opens up an infinite variety of movements on the rope that play with the structure of the façades and connect them with the third dimension – the air. Compagnie Retouramont has been running the Vertical Dance Forum since 2014 and brings together seven Danse Verticale choreographers from Europe and Canada.

This project was supported by the Creative Europe program of the European Union (2017-2019).
