Soirée d’études

Club moves brought to the stage

Soirée d’études gives audiences an adrenaline rush. It is an out-of-the-box performance born out of Gaube’s love of street dance, contemporary dance, hip hop and clubbing. In a series of short études, Gaube poetically explores what the human body can do. Thanks to his enormous precision and extreme focus, there is a constant tension between the dancers, even in moments of silence. As in his previous piece, the solo work Farmer Train Swirl – Étude, Gaube reveals the choreographic richness and complexity of house. A feast for the eyes that will make you want to bop along to the electronic beats.
