Eins Zwei Drei
Packed with visual collisions, Zimmermann’s wordless theatre has circus, dance and visual-arts roots. Here, with live piano accompaniment, a tasteful museum space catalyses, in tragi-comic manner, the violence and complexity of human passions… As the three characters (at once actors, dancers and circus performers) come up against the institution’s walls and their own limits, and things go irresistibly askew, what chance survival? Will the seeds of conflict finally cause them to snap, or rewrite the rules?

Western classical dance enters the modernity of the 20th century: The Ballets russes and the Ballets suédois
If the 19th century is that of romanticism, the entry into the new century is synonymous of modernity! It was a few decades later that it would be assigned, a posteriori, the name of “neo-classical”.

Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
