Close Up
Noé Soulier
In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting la Maison de la danse for the presentation of Close Up by Noé Soulier.
Based on Johann Sebastian Bach’s The Art of Fugue, Close Up is an inventive choreographic work that uses video to reveal the different dimensions of body and movement.
Premiered at the Avignon Festival in July 2024, Close Up is performed by six dancers and five musicians from baroque ensemble Il Convito, directed by Maude Gratton. Synthesizing and deepening the research carried out in Noé Soulier’s latest work, this creation continues his exploration of the relationship between dance and live music, already present in Faits et gestes (2016), The Waves (2018) and First Memory (2022). This work also extends his research with live video and the relationship between the camera and the dancers explored in his movie Fragments (2022).
