ABSURD !

THE PRESS

“A poetry that hypnotizes us”. “Absurd, is a spectacle for all audiences of remarkable intensity”
Maud Quertain/ Le Suricate

“A fantastic moment of dance carried by eight performers in a state of grace.”
J.M Wynants/ LE SOIR ★★★★

“Absurd embraces a form of absolute, of supreme freedom in the field to be explored. And demonstrates once again the talent of the choreographer to orchestrate rigor, mastery of movement, in an opus widely open to all audiences.” “A stunning octet, as virtuoso as it is accessible.”
Marie Baudet/ La Libre ★★★

In ABSURD, Anton Lachky invites eight dancers to wander along tumultuous, blazing paths of surrealism. Converted to boundless opportunities, the bodies interweave, proliferate and open out. Characters suddenly appear, influenced by irresistible enthusiasm and clashing indefinable stories that are impossible to reduce into an intelligible and resolute whole. The dance, freed from being confined by the moment, presents a sudden surge of power and a variety of exploits.
Out of this furious and wild energy emerge engrossing, fascinating and incredibly intense choreographic moments.
