Urban Distortions
A choreographic piece created by Emmanuelle Vincent and Pierre Larauza / t.r.a.n.s.i.t.s.c.a.p.e
Interweaving dance, music and visual arts, Urban Distortions offers a poetic vision of territory and its physical and mental borders. Dancers and musicians share the stage with transparent inflatable bubbles, like the growths of a contemporary city where we are increasingly enclosed.
Each stage version is created with local artists. In Vietnam, it brought together rapper Suboi, electronic composer Teddy Chilla, dancer Nhu Xuyen and live digital drawings by Thy Nguyên Truong Minh.
The piece can also be presented in museums and galleries, streets, squares and parks.
