MILENA & MICHAEL

EMANUEL GAT DANCE (2017)

Long term collaborators of Emanuel Gat, Milena and Michael share years of a joint artistic collaboration, as well as an intimate knowledge of Gat’s creative process. A dance reduced to its most fundamental elements, MILENA & MICHAEL is a reflection on the act of dancing, and at the same time a simple story of two people looking to connect. The work is a sort of zoom-in on the voids between movements, choreographic fragments, sounds and the two dancers.

Bien que MILENA & MICHAEL soit une pièce intime, elle a été créée pour être dansée sur de grands espaces. Le plateau dénudé, vaste, lui sert d’écrin. Il met en relief les actions et les intentions qui la composent. À découvrir absolument!
