The Festival d’Automne offers, like every edition, a rich and varied dance program. South African choreographer Robyn Orlin is one of the international artists invited this year. She offers until November 12 on two stages of the Palais de Chaillot, two hybrid and committed creations, in her image. A solo, created 30 years ago, transmitted to the Ivorian dancer Nadia Beugré. And a show animated by the dancers of his multi-ethnic company “ Moving into Dance “.
In her choreographic pieces, she tells, she denounces, she questions. Above all, she shares. Traditions, emotions, laughter, reflection tinged with humor and irony, with words, bodies, fabrics, objects, movements, music and contagious energy.
From her multicolored palette, the South African choreographer Robyn Orlin draws interactive performances that are simply exhilarating. Like those that we can applaud again until tomorrow evening (Saturday November 12) at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, at the National Dance Theater which again hosts two of its shows.
In a small room, a solo she created almost 30 years ago around a cardboard box, and which she passed on to the Ivorian dancer Nadia Beugré. In a larger room, an exuberant show, a troupe show with one of the first mixed post-Apartheid companies, Moving Into Dance Mophatong.
Robyn Orlin is the guest of VMDN.
