JOÃO DOS SANTOS MARTINS (PT) & Cyriaque Villemaux (BE/FR)

Autointitulado

High-calibre dancers João Martins and Cyriaque Villemaux spent the summer in various dance studios all across Europe. It’s as if a whiff of Lisbon, Vienna or Barcelona was wafting through this piece, in which the two outstanding performers let the spirits of distant, recent and contemporary dance history rampage through their bodies: from classical ballet parts to expressive dance through to allusions to the stars of Voguing. With virtuoso devotion and a mischievous twinkle in their eyes, the two artists invite the audience to join them on a pleasant stroll through an encyclopaedia of dance that is as profound as it is surprising.
