REFLET
Compagnie Xuan Le (France)

It is the encounter of contemporary dance, hip-hop, visual arts, and inline skating with which the company Xuan Le takes us into a whole new world of physical expression. Almost weightlessly, Xuan Le, freestyle slalom champion, creates an energetic cosmos on his rollerblades that is as intense as it is meditative – and he takes us back to our origins and right into the heart of the relationship we form in life. Between the search for balance and inner exploration, the audience experiences an emotional journey where the tangible enters into dialogue with the intangible.

A former freestyle slalom competitor, Xuan Le initially lived out his fascination with dance in collaborations with Mourad Merzouki’s company Käfig, Montreal’s Cirque Eloize, Opéra du Capitole de Toulouse, and Lene Boel’s Danish company Next Zone, and finally founded his own company Xuan Le in 2016.
