National Premiere

Former cellist of the P.A.R.T.S, the school of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, dancer and choreographer, Fanny Brouyaux, born in Brussels, is interested in one of the visceral aspects of romantic movement: the sensitive chord. To Be Schieve or a Romantic Attempt is the result of patient and masterful rhythmic work, ranging from physical tension to the mechanics of emotional states. On the soundtrack of Niccolò Paganini’s Capricci, this pun on the term “schieve”, which in Brussels means “twisted” or “crazy”, explores the friction between technical gestures and uncontrolled movements during attacks of spasmophilia: gestures of memory that allow the body to expel post-traumatic stress. A solo at the crossroads between dance and performance, which dissects the choreographic vocabulary of nervous gesture, investigating in minute detail between the apparent familiarity and the apparent strangeness of the same gesture.
