b.c, janvier 1545, fontainebleau. | Christian Rizzo | l'association fragile

Christian Rizzo's "b.c, janvier 1545, fontainebleau." filmed as part of OntheBoards.tv, a contemporary performance on-demand site.

A modernist cabinet of curiosities becomes the grounds for a new work created by l'enfant terrible Christian Rizzo and inspired by famed European dancer Julie Guibert. Rizzo manipulates the sleek stage as Guibert performs stylized gestures that explore the harnessed energy of a dancer and the 16th century sculpture, The Nymph of Fontainebleau. Featuring lighting designer Caty Olive and original music by Gerome Nox.

Choreographer, fashion designer, rock musician and visual artist are just a few of the titles for non-danse leader Rizzo. Since his debut at OtB in 2006, Rizzo has been commissioned by several of France's premiere ballets and recently began a new career in opera. Julie Guibert has performed with prestigious companies such as the Lyon Opera Ballet and been the muse to choreographers such as William Forsythe and Russell Maliphant.

I saw this in Kalamata and it was the worst thing I have endured ever in a theatre. I walked out because the excessive noise level was torture to me. I wondered if an error had been made by technicians. Oddly the audience as a whole did not seem to mind but the noise was excruciating.

Otherwise it seemed pseudo Beuys but without any meaning, no dance , stylish to look at but apart from pretty tea lights and posing what left?
