Boxe Boxe Brasil
Mourad Merzouki / CCN Créteil & Val-de-Marne
Quatuor Debussy
25.11.2020
The performance has been canceled and will be postponed to the next season.
The boxing ring becomes a stage for dancers who take turns in fighting and reconciling – all to the live music of the Debussy Quartet. In each round the violins drive the dancers’ steps, from airy capoeira to rhythmic hip-hop. Breathtaking!
Following on from the popular success of Boxe Boxe (performed to an audience of 130,000 spectators), Mourad Merzouki once again dons his boxing gloves to create a universe in which poetry and humour, classic music and Brazilian dance all join together.
Information
- Duration 60 min.
- Public from 8 years old
In the press
La Libre Belgique
« Un poétique corps-à-corps entre la boxe et le hip-hop. Le résultat est bluffant : les morceaux choisis prennent aux tripes et collent parfaitement à la dynamique des enchaînements de mouvements. »
AFP
« Duos fraternels ou de combat, soles enchaînant des figures époustouflantes, danses effrénées autour de punching-ball sont rythmés par les cordes du Quatuor jouant des oeuvres des compositeurs brésiliens Heitor Villa-Lobos ou Antonio Carlos Jobim ou de l'Argentin Aster Piazzolla. Et ce pour le plus grand bonheur du public. »
