La Magnificenza

Upon completing his studies at PARTS in 2002, French dancer and choreographer Etienne Guilloteau made a lasting impression with the subdued, austerely choreographed duet Skènè. In La Magnificenza he appears to be looking at the other side of the coin, creating an unconstrained choreography without any guiding dramatic composition. A choreography which gives the viewer the space to look uninhibitedly at what the moment itself has to offer. Guilloteau searches for a language of dance that is strange and incomprehensible, and free of all meaning, but that brings the other essential qualities of movement to the fore: rhythm, nuance, musicality, colour ... La Magnificenza is a duet for two men, a rhapsody, a collage, a succession of forces and momentums.
