The Wall – Dance-theatre

Directed by Gilles Guénat and written by Roxane Gray, The Wall is a dance-theatre piece that immerses audiences in a musical and choreographic tapestry around the history of the Berlin Wall. Choreographies by Fabrice Martin, Sabine Gross-Collé, Gilles Guénat and Anthony Despras shape a fluid dialogue between a woman and a man, where the personal and the political intertwine. A company of around ten artists navigates intimate gestures and collective movements, evoking memory, rupture and resilient lyricism.
