Laos
CERCLE
Choreographer & Performer: Olé KHAMCHANLA
Description
In Cercle, Olé Khamchanla questions the essence of his dance, from its origins in hip hop to its current hybridity with contemporary dance and the traditional dances of Thailand and Laos.
A solo at the crossroads of cultures with which the choreographer dialogues, borrowing from the West and the East, from street movements and those from the classical arts.
An intimate space on the inside and a zone of exploration on the outside, the circle is also the evocation of a certain universality that can be found in the dancer’s gestures, and of a perpetual movement that pushes him to seek new mechanisms.
A powerful and poetic dance, an intimate performance that shares with us an artistic and existential quest:
how to evolve among the codes that surround us, how to find our path, our balance?
