German Premiere
Thibault Lac – winner of the ImPulsTanz Young Choreographers' Award and known for his work with Mathilde Monnier, Alexandra Bachzetsis, Ligia Lewis and Trajal Harrell – brings his new solo performance Blue Roses to Germany for the first time.
In a camp reverie that embraces its sentimental edge, Thibault Lac ventures into swampy territory, at once repulsive and seductive. An array of ghosts, old-fashioned archetypes and contemporary mythologies intersect on the threshold of different temporalities. A subjective pantheon of hybrid fantasies unfolds, navigating personal and collective memories. Conceived as a poem collection, a herbarium or a flower bouquet, Blue Roses is composed, decomposed and recomposed in a dance that brings together the grotesque and melancholy.
