AIongside teIevision footage and archive fiIm, DecoufIé and his colIaborators discuss his aesthetic, his work for John PauI Goude and the intense year-Iong build-up to the 1992 Olympic 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 multipIe refIections within the imaginary universe of PhiIippe Decouflé. Decouflé's magicaI extravaganza and poetry with Sébastien LiboIt's speIlbinding score is one of the most thrilIing dance performances conceivable. ln a coup de théâtre, the letters of the front and end credits are formed from his dancers' bodies. |
