SUMMARY:Noé Soulier: Passages
DESCRIPTION:A 40-minute site-specific project that adapts to each location in which it’s performed – the movement sequences by the four dancers are predetermined\, and it uses a bodily vocabulary that choreographer Noé Soulier has been developing over the last 10 years; but the choreography is constructed within and for each specific place (which for Abu Dhabi is NYUAD’s East Plaza). Performers trigger resonances activating the physical memories of the audience\, starting with their relationship to the spaces they inhabit. \nSoulier is director of the Cndc–Angers (Centre national de danse contemporaine)\, a unique institution that combines a creative choreography centre\, a school of contemporary dance\, and a performance programme. \nDance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels has been supporting the presentation of Passages since 2022\, and in April it will be performed in Kyoto. \nTickets are free\, but all spaces are currently taken – returns may become available. \n
