Les Chambres des Jacques

Les Chambres des Jacques explores the individual in all their complexity, through an intimate and expressive dance where Aszure Barton highlights the fragilities, tics and humanity of the performers.

Les Chambres des Jacques offers a form of dialogue between the choreographer and the dancers, an almost interactive exploration focused on a human dimension that oscillates between the everyday and the grotesque, between the banal and the unexpected. A choreography acclaimed by critics and audiences alike during its recent international tour.

To allow this "real life" to blossom in the bodies of her dancers, Aszure Barton says she has transformed the dance studios into a true sanctuary of peace, madness or struggle, a place of all possibilities, from which emerges a material that is often raw, authentic, both intimate and universal.

Exploring the individual in all their facets and down to the very core of their animal nature, Aszure Barton weaves her tapestry from the small personal quirks observed haphazardly between the dancers' movements, or from the many details that make up their personalities. These minor imperfections pay homage to both the beauty and the fragility of being.
