Dance
SOMNOLE
Boris Charmatz | Terrain
Wandering in some mental landscapes with dance, music and birds, humming some youth melody, losing oneself in memories. The major choreographer Boris Charmatz unwinds an awaken dream. Somewhere between mesmerisation and jolts, between an intimate world and popular tunes, SOMNOLE is a dance dream, both personal and generous.
His plays written for manifold dancers like 10000 gestes & Liberté Cathédrale constitue his trademark. He now manages the prestigious Tanztheater Wuppertal, house of the late famous choreographer Pina Bausch. Here is Boris Charmatz dancing solo, bare chest and wearing a colourful kilt. Eyes half-closed in a halo, he experiences many intimate states and revisits his musical favorites – Billie Eilish, Frank Sinatra, Bach. After contemplation and hesitation come jerky breathing. To the point of frenzy and joy.
