In 'Avant toutes disparitions' (Before all Disappearances), Thomas Lebrun reappraises his style as a choreographer in a piece for twelve performers, a 'long-haul project', to use his own words. A community and a vision in movement.
Part One involves soloists, most of them long-time associates of Thomas Lebrun's. It is about conviction and survival, 'of a people, a community, esthetic values, toughts and beliefs. A confrontation, a radical and deeply-rooted claim on space', says the choreographer. In Part Two, 'Avant toutes disparitions' calls on four dancers: Odile Azagury, Daniel Larrieu, Anne-Sophie Lancelin and Thomas Lebrun himself. Lebrun brought these powerful dancers together and shares the stage with them. Bodies and their essence, in strife or serenity, finally enjoying a truce.
