A poetic exploration of skateboarding, at the heart of its sensations, orchestrated by choreographer Nicolas Musin and accompanied by the music of Philip Glass.
Ollie is a transdisciplinary creation at the crossroads of public space and theatrical space. On stage, a massive skate ramp gives life to a liberating and electrifying show, blending the languages, movements, and questions of today’s youth.
We dive into it like a volcano : between darkness and incandescence, identities, images, words, gestures, strengths, and vulnerabilities erupt.
A weightless dream performed by nine young local artists from various disciplines—skateboarding, parkour, and dance—where each individual’s place is metaphorized in a defiance of gravity.
