Through the Grapevine
Creators: Alexander Vantournhout, Andrea Belfi, Anne Catherine Kunz, Bjorn Verlinde, Caroline Mathieu, Harry Cole
"Through the Grapevine" is an offbeat pas de deux between two men. Performers Alexander Vantournhout and Axel Guérin show off their bodies, stripped of all embellishments. They are trained, but certainly not perfect. They don't try to convince with virtuous movements. Little by little, their athletic bodies come up against physical limits, and their movements guide them in discovering the strengths and weaknesses of their own physiques. The choreography creates an interplay between these differences in proportions and physical strength. With great effort and concentration, the performers seek balance and harmony, without hesitating to use humor. They challenge and push each other forward, alternately leading the dance. Thanks to constant mutual physical contact, the synergy between touching and being touched unfolds like the show's basic melody.
