Freely inspired by boléro 2
(excerpted from the performance trois boléros, conceived by Odile Duboc and Françoise Michel, 1996)
“I wanted to strangle time.” Tatsumi Hijikata, The Ailing Dancer
In homage to Odile Duboc, Boris Charmatz and Emmanuelle Huynh present an evening in two parts. In the first part, the two performers freely draw inspiration from the choreography of the duet boléro 2 in order to produce another score from memory, relying on the drawn-out music of Maurice Ravel. In the second portion of the evening they are going to interpret the original version of the choreography.
