From acclaimed French choreographer Olivier Dubois comes a meticulously constructedminimalist dance work,Tragédie,which brings together women and men in a chorus of hypnotically repetitive movements backed by a pounding bass.
In his first visit to Carriageworks and the first performance of his work in Australia, Dubois will present the new work over two nights in September, supported by the Embassy of France in Australia.
Inspired by Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy, in which he praises the transcendent liberation of dancing, Tragédie is the conclusion of a trilogy of pieces that centre on the themes of resistance and insurrection.
