Danse Dans saison 2010-2011 - Communiqué de presse L'Homme à tête de chou. An exceptional dance/music event by Gallotta, Gainsbourg and Bashun
Montréal, November 1st, 2010 – Fans of dance – and rock music – won’t want to miss from March 4 to 13, 2011 with leading figure of contemporary dance in France Jean-Claude Gallotta and his extremely popular piece L’Homme à tête de chou, lyrics and music by Serge Gainsbourg in an original recording for this show by the late Alain Bashung. After being presented by Danse Danse in 2005 (Trois Générations), Jean-Claude Gallotta comes back accompanied by the femme fatale Marilou, the muse in Serge Gainsbourg’s concept album L’Homme à tête de chou. This tale of mad, fatal love is presented in a series of flashbacks that comprise a dozen electrifying tableaux danced by 7 men and 7 women performing to the unique voice of Alain Bashung.
“Using bodies and voices, violence and softness, the Gallotta-Gainsbourg-Bashung trio takes us to the abyss of desire and jealousy.” (TÉLÉRAMA, PARIS). “The dancers are magnificent. With devastating energy, they devour space with the appetites of wild animals and an unfailing generosity […] The choreography is delightful, spirited, effective and very recognisable: pure Gallotta…” (LE NOUVEL OBSERVATEUR, PARIS)
Like a continuing conversation; an inextinguishable life impulse.
