So Schnell
Dominique Bagouet
Catherine Legrand

In 2024, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting Maison de la Danse for the presentation of So Schnell choreographed by Dominique Bagouet in 1990 and recreated by Catherine Legrand in 2020.
The choreographer, Dominique Bagouet, came to public attention in the 1980s and is a leading figure in the new French dance scene. Twenty-nine years after Bagouet’s passing, Catherine Legrand recreated one of his major shows: So Schnell.
Escorted by a Bach cantata and its sonorous counterpoint, this twelve-person dance is light and lively, and simultaneously raging and tenacious. These contrasts make it an explosive performance of subversive joy.
The energy and grace of the performers are matched by the exacting precision of the choreography.
