La marche bleue, Flavien Berger - Music for Maison d'en face (2023)

Léo Walk and La Marche Bleue explore the emotional shifts felt in domestic spaces through dance
Lost in the modernist surroundings of a 1960s house, deep in the Massif de l’Esterel, dancer and choreographer Léo Walk, and his company La Marche Bleue, present Maison d'en Face – exploring the contrast between madness and human warmth through contemporary dance. As soothing and tempestuous emotions collide, the choreography interprets domestic scenes in which dancers, male and female, evolve in a closed space.

Walk describes how developing the choreography for Maison d'en Face enabled him to channel "the desire to capture the time in which we evolve, its essence, its characteristics. To draw moments of life, to bring the public's attention to these details of everyday life that we no longer notice, to the beauty and violence of the most common situations, to the poetry and sensitivity of intimacy”.

Capturing through movement the intimacy of a dining room, or the dreamlike curvature of furniture, Maison d'en Face offers a visual representation of how friendships, and relationships, are built and shattered in cohabitation, set to the soundtrack of a musical collaboration from Flavien Berger and Mansfield.
