Grande Salle
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui
His previous productions have exhausted all the superlatives. Rien de rien, Foi, D’avant, Tempus fugit, Zero degrees with Akram Khan and Loin for the Geneva Ballet. Battling bodies, voices of angels, music from another time, another culture. Incredible pieces, at the same time both apocalyptic and funny, with a poignant fierceness and overflowing with humanity, where there is dancing, singing and playing, with no priorities, no popular traditions or highbrow practices. For the long-awaited Myth, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui gathered together in Antwerp several dancers that have become his travelling companions over time. He examines with them how a particular event can have a permanent affect on an individual. For him, such an event does not just cause a wound, it is also the opportunity for personal enrichment and the discovery of unsuspected talents. The singer Patrizia Bovi, specialist of traditional Italian music, and her seven-member group Micrologus are Sidi Larbi’s musical on-stage allies for this piece.
