Static Shot

The choreographer, Maud Le Pladec and the dancers of the CCN-Ballet de Lorraine take over the Cour Lefuel of the Louvre to present a specially adapted version of their show, Static Shot. A mischievous wink at the fashion industry, Static Shot is a critique, in which bodies slowly break free. Set to music co-written by composer Pete Harden and Chloé Thévenin, the dancers follow each other and cross paths, eventually rebelling and stepping out of the line before returning to join an almost hypnotic procession evoking tribal rituals, ominous figures and the world of urban dance. A true concentration of raw energy orchestrated by the director of the Centre Chorégraphique National d’Orléans, like a permanent crescendo, this show invites the audience to participate in an endless ecstasy.
