Corps extrêmes

Oct 27—Oct 29, 2023
BAM DEBUT

BAM and Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels
Present

Chaillot - Théâtre national de la Danse
Choreography by Rachid Ouramdane

    Part of
  • Next Wave 2023

Choreographer Rachid Ouramdane comes to BAM for the first time with Corps extrêmes, his new gravity-defying piece of aerial dance. Athlete-performers traverse the stage together and alone, sometimes in ethereal white light, and sometimes while footage of death-defying outdoor activities is projected over them. As a study of the precipices of our world—both literal and figurative—this sweeping, meditative work invites us to find calmness in the space between earth and sky. It’s a piece of staggering scale and vision, a work of interior physicality seeking escape, miraculous for its ability to bring about a jolt of adrenaline and follow it up with an ebb of still quietude.

Music by Jean-Baptiste Julien
Costume design by Camille Panin
Lighting design by Stéphane Graillot

Part of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival
