Cie Retouramont – Hissé Émoi
September 19 | 16:00 - 6:00 PM
The French company Retouramont takes to the air: Its choreographies celebrate the overcoming of gravity, all physical and regulatory boundaries of urban spaces disappear – high above while dancing over the heads of the audience.
Hisse Émoi is an invitation to the audience to rise above the city thanks to a collective and simply let go, to gain a new perspective, to let one's body drift in the wind or experience the possibility of the bottomless. Combined with a dance solo that hovers above the audience for a moment and draws from the complete freedom of movement, the experience of three-dimensional space becomes an astonishing moment.
The Retouramont company is considered a pioneer of vertical dance. 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 facades and connect them with the third dimension—airspace.
