FREISCHWIMMEN MEETS RODEO: Léonard Engel
PAROTIA

schwere reiter

Here, everything turns: the bodies on stage, the skirts of the dancers and, at some point, the space and one's own head. Starting from the simple movement of turning, Léonard Engel develops a choreography that changes the audience's perception of space and body. Equipped with heavy skirts, the dancers on stage become sculptures that constantly transform and reorganize themselves in space. In the process, their bodies merge with the costumes and lose themselves in abstract forms. In the end, they disappear completely behind the hustle and bustle of colors and figures, before exertion and fatigue make them reappear. "Parotia" is a hypnotic dance piece whose movement language is inspired by the Egyptian folk dance Tanoura, the choreographic heritage of Loïe Fuller, as well as by Oskar Schlemmer and the Bauhaus movement. Léonard Engel worked as a classical ballet dancer before deciding to become a freelance artist in 2016. Since then he has created solos, group pieces and video works. He has collaborated with artists such as Laurent Chétouane, Meg Stuart, and Paula Rosolen. His choreographic work focuses on the body and the alteration of its perception through movement, costumes and states of being, with angels working with radical settings and the means of reduction.
