All Around
With All Around, the dancer and choreographer Mette Ingvartsen stages her artistic encounter with an unclassifiable drummer: Will Guthrie, an Australian who has settled in France. Their interest in collaborating initially came about by following each other’s work from a distance, over several years. On stage, they now attempt to merge their disciplines in an intense performance. In the centre of a space surrounded by the audience, where the lighting (designed by Hans Meijer) is constantly in motion, Mette Ingvartsen deploys a minimalist vocabulary for the occasion, with a strong emphasis on repetition and speed. Rotations and gyrations maintain a dialogue with the edgy music of improviser and percussionist Will Guthrie. Created in 2019, this dance concert aims to produce a state of trance, the better to confront two bodies and two imaginations.

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.
