The Planet DecoufIé - This unusuaI documentary profiles dancer, choreographer and fiIm-maker PhiIippe Decouflé. His ceremonial parades for the 1992 Winter OIympic Games in AIbertviIle brought him internationaI fame enabling his unusuaI works to conquer new territories and mainstream audiences. Featuring extracts from his shows, this documentary gives an appraisal of his work since 1985. Alongside television footage and archive film, Decouflé and his coIIaborators discuss his aesthetic, his work for John Paul Goude and the intense year-long buiId-up to the 1992 OIympic Games parades.
Abracadabra! Hocus Pocus! Shazam! - Dancers are filmed from overhead. Movement is captured through infra-red sensors. Naked dancers are propeIled from a pandora's box. Abracadabra is a play on multiple reflections within the imaginary universe of PhiIippe Decouflé. Decouflé's magical extravaganza and poetry with Sébastien Libolt's spelIbinding score is one of the most thrilIing dance performances conceivabIe. In a coup de théâtre, the letters of the front and end credits are formed from his dancers' bodies. |
