Les Nœuds de Gustav is a multidisciplinary work where dance is finely interwoven with music, a narrative and an interactive scenography.
Whether it is a family, a career or a physical heritage, the ambition to build a legacy is above all a human trait. What compels an astronaut to travel into the unknown? Why do we build pyramids, cathedrals, monumental creations beyond the span of a lifetime? Whatever they are, however grand or inconsequent may be their result, ambitions can help define us, unite us and build us.
The solo follows the character Abbacus, who tries to build, rebuild and construct themselves, who explores their ambitions and navigates through doubt and adversity.
“ Lors de la première du spectacle, en fin de semaine, le public a été conquis tant par l’intensité et la sensibilité de l’interprétation que par la beauté de l’œuvre. // At the show’s premiere, this weekend, the audience was won over as much by the intensity and sensitivity of the performance as by the beauty of the work. ”
