Les Brigittines

Seven people meet, crossing each other without words, whilst simultaneously appearing to say everything to each other, given the straightforward, direct yet double-edged nature of the exchange. They establish a bond in a constantly dissolving society, only to be reconstituted differently. Synchronicities, shifts, fluid separations, impulses, accords, and false coincidences draw them together in a multiphonic mix of movements and counterpo- ints, suspensions that ignore the passage of time and spur new encounters and connections.

With this wonderfully open and well-constructed show, Pierre Pontvianne, accompanied by astonishingly precise dancers, reaches the epitome of his complex and subtle art of composition and evocation.
