At the heart of bodies, spaces and images that make up Wang & Ramirez, movement summons thought, direction is a result of feeling, action calls upon action as images call for images. Intuition rules.A movement sculpted by a strong sense of flair, patience, precision and enthusiasm, the instinct probes the unconscious, freeing impulse and forms.
PARTS places humanity at the center of the stage, in its most modest garments. Fragile, destitute, haggard humanity, throwing its last forces into a dance of repair, a dance of purification, a dance for tomorrow. Because our anchors are not immutable, our roots float, our bodies seek (in) the world, after.
The four shows that make up PARTS - Beautiful me, Digilegs, Flag and Water take place in the darkness of our time, reflecting a malaise, disturbed by the dreaminess and imagination dear to Wang Ramirez.

Wang, Honji
Wang's dance language is an abstraction of hip hop dance and has influences of earlier martial arts and ballet training. She is recognised as an artist who brings contemporary and hip hop together in an exceptionally organic fashion.
Together with Sébastien Ramirez, Honji Wang received the Bessie Award 2013 as "Outstanding Performer" following the presentation of AP15 at the Apollo Theatre in New York. Their work Monchichi was also one of the 2017 Bessie Award nominees for "Outstanding Production" following its performance at BAM Fisher.
Wang was invited to Madonna’s final auditions in New York, where her outstanding performance earned her an invitation to tour and perform for the Rebel Heart Tour.
In 2016, Wang and Ramirez received a comission from Sadler's Wells to direct and perform a dance work made to Nitin Sawhney’s album Dystopian Dream.
Wang was invited as a guest artist to perform a duo with acclaimed British choreographer Akram Khan titled The Pursuit of Now, which was accompanied by well-known pianist Shahin Novrasli.
She also collaborated with the most avant-garde female flamenco dancer Rocío Molina in the duet Felahikum, as well as with New York City Ballet principal dancer Sara Mearns in the duet NO.1.

Lauze, Patrick
Editor training I had during my career to make several trades in film making. All these experiences have led me naturally to the executive production without neglecting my other skills.
Today all this expertise is visible on the biggest TV French and foreign.
