HOLEULONE Production 2006 for two dancers and animated ink – 60 minutes Best dance piece – Prix de la Critique 2007 Holeulone develops the bond between movement and images at the mercy of visions linked on the stage by the animated film by Thierry Van Hasselt. The piece delves into the mental, interior world of a troubled man, into the changing rhythms of his thoughts, his real and imaginary memories, the clarity and confusion of his perceptions. At one moment, his twin appears — a kind of interior historian so similar to himself that he becomes unbearable… ©Thierry Van Hasslet & Wilfrid Roche

BABIL, HAVRAN, BENEDETTO PACIFICO Solos of 20 minutes – The Scarecrow Cycle For me, a scarecrow is both a touching and contradictory figure, a lonely soldier of terror who has never scared anyone. He belongs to the imagination. This vertical being is man’s double, a self-portrait that does not speak its name, a no entry sign, and a protester who opens his arms to us when he is not hanged, crucified or bound.

Giving life to a scarecrow is to become alive again, to revive, reconstruct, and to relearn. Trying to reach that place where the dual movement of vertical falling and elevation is produced, a contradiction vital to a living being.
