Compagnie Philippe Saire

Lonesome Cowboy

Choreography for 5 dancers

Man and his incessant desire to dominate. Man and his sense of being part of a team. Man and his need to take risks, to confront himself, to belong to a group... Philippe Saire uses powerful choreography to embody the numerous facets of masculine identity. Six dancers experiment with physical relationships within a group of men, seeking inspiration in the codes of sporting activity. A long struggle between two of them, personifies the need for fusion and separation of this male duet. The power of direct body language, expressed by dancers whose generosity drives them to near exhaustion. P.-L. Chantre | Programme La Bâtie-Festival de Genève
