Echo Flux - the departed Heart
Echo Flux is a double-bill programme proposed by Carte Blanche, the Norwegian national contemporary dance company, and based on the encounter between a choreographer and a composer. In the first part, the choreographer Alban Richard, is associated with the Franco-Argentinean composer Sebastian Rivas and the costume designer Rachel Garcia for the departed Heart, a highly melancholic piece in which the dancers’ breath is transformed, in real time, into violas da gamba.
It is followed by Primal by the Argentine choreographer Ayelen Parolin and the French composer Ezra. Sámi rituals and beatboxing are the basis of this energetic piece that plunges the dancers into a search for their shamans.
Richard, Alban
Alban Richard discovered contemporary dance while he was pursuing literary and musical studies. From the late 1990s, he worked for various choreographers such as Odile Duboc, Olga de Soto and Rosalind Crisp.
In 2000, Alban Richard founded Ensemble l'Abrupt for which he created about thirty very different pieces, always in close interaction with a musical work whose writing and formal structure he questioned. Consequently, each creation opens up new research and a new performance style, setting itself apart from the previous one. The way he develops his shows, using restricted improvisations to devise the work directly on stage, encourages the performers to become creators of their own dance.
Alban Richard has collaborated with the Alla francesca ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, the Ensemble intercontemporain, IRCAM and the Cairn, Instant Donné and Alternance ensembles, as well as with composers Arnaud Rebotini, Sebastian Rivas, Erwan Keravec, Jérôme Combier, Laurent Perrier, Raphaël Cendo, Robin Leduc, Paul Clift, Wen Liu and Matthew Barnson.
A prolific choreographer, Alban Richard is regularly invited by ballets and companies, both internationally (Canada, Lithuania, Norway) and in France, to create commissioned works.
Since 2015 he has been artistic director of the centre chorégraphique national de Caen en Normandie, with a project based on both his practice as an author and on connecting with the territory and its inhabitants.
