Filmed at the Bastille as part of the Summer in Grenoble.

Simplification of any existential trajectory - alternation of falls and suspensions - along a staircase that leads nowhere.
Appearance of a primordial motif - the fall - formed, deformed, reformed ad infinitum.
A spectacular little dance of extreme precision on an invisible score. It is through this method of expressing imbalance that the aesthetic of risk is based. This act is composed by the repetition of a state, not stable, but suspended (standing), progressing and intensifying step by step. The variations of this state confer a tension, a particular expressiveness, making it possible to take the measure of this "prowess and poetics of the abandonment".

Yoann  Bourgeois  trained  at  the  National  Centre  for  Circus  Arts  (CNAC)  and  at  the  National  Centre  for  Contemporary  Dance  (CNDC)  in  Angers.  For  four  years  he  was  a performer with Maguy Marin’s company. His  first  piece,  "Cavale",  was  a  duet  on  a  trampoline  with  Mathurin  Bolze.  In  2014  he  created  "Celui  qui  tombe"  for  the  Lyon  Dance Biennale, in which six artists attempt to  stay  upright  on  a  moving  stage.  Since  January   2016,   he   has   co-directed   the   National  Choreography  Centre  (CCN)  of  Grenoble with Rachid Ouramdane.
