Le Sacre

La Ville en Feu (FR)
Twelve performers take over the street with their bodies and voices and change the cityscape for a moment.

Le Sacre is a retelling of Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps, danced and sung a cappella.

Twelve moving and singing bodies invade public space to make it vibrate and to make the audience vibrate with it. In this bodily choir, dance and voice mingle and intertwine to form a roaring, whispering, dissonant, humming choir…

Crossed by questions of revolt, identity, collectivity, individuality, the bodies are unleashed and the voices, sometimes powerful, sometimes ridiculous, come out as a call to others, a common cry for a common body.

It is the spring of a youth in full revolt, which questions the identity of the individual in a group and the place of this group in the community and public space.

Le Sacre questions hierarchy, boxes, commonplaces.

They go where you least expect them, unite the sacred and the banal and poetise everyday life.

Le Sacre du Printemps is a ballet composed by Igor Stravinskij. It premiered in Paris in 1913. Since then the piece has been interpreted many times, always stirring up things.
