Music Jazz and Saxo

An original first production, inspired by jazz rythms. One after the other, humour, poetry, saxophone and scenery intermingle. "The solos, duos and group numbers reach a degree of perfection, rarely found in contemporary dance, as they turn and enchant to bewitch the spectator". After breath...the saxophone's song...the language of the body...Hanging to the instrument's undulations...modulate...Falling...losing balance...from one bodily moment to the next...the movements...ideograms...Words floating on the wind. "I borrow the musical characteristics of the saxophone and apply them to dance. I do not rely on modern jazz but propose a resolutely contemporary interpretation of this music." G. Caciuleanu.

A performance in modules where the public join in directly in the structure of the choreography. Created at Café de la Danse de Paris and brought to its present form in Berlin.
