Bien Parado

Collectif La Méandre (FR)
Sevillana meets electronic music in an intense ode to freedom and emancipation

With a cube as a stage and the public space as the only setting, a dancer and a musician tame each other and cross time until they find a common rhythm. Bien Parado is an ode to freedom, a visceral battle to emancipation.

Bien Parado (”Stop”, ”well posed”) is the name for a pose in the Sevillana dance tradition from the South of Spain. Jane Fournier and Cédric Froin create an encounter between the tradition of a dance transmitted for generations, and the world of the night, where bodies dance undone by all rules.

Telling an intimate revolution agitated by the underground mutations of a tormented world, Bien Parado questions the codes that are too established, and opens a necessary dialogue between heritage and deconstruction, allowing us to enjoy a a strong connection through a new, common rhythm.

Age: From 8 years

ABOUT THE COMPANY

La Méandre is a collective of about twenty multidisciplinary artists. They like to tickle the public space but not only, to meet the public very closely and question its place, to go towards slippery and immersive grounds, to blur the borders between practices. La Méandre is also a self-managed place welcoming many companies in residence.
