In 2023, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the MC93 for the presentation of Out of Context by Alain Platel.

In this powerful, poetic tribute to Pina Bausch, Alain Platel returns to the essentials: dance and bodies. He depicts a human community and deconstructs the unconscious and otherness in all of us.

Out of Context is the only performance that laGeste (les ballets C de la B and kabinet k) is reprising on an exceptional basis. It is performed by the dancers who premiered it in 2012 and presented it in 2019 at MC93.

Alain Platel

受训成为一名补充教育专家的Alain Platel,于1984年在比利时根特创立了舞蹈团体les ballets C de la B。他是自学成才的艺术家,从一开始就选择将多种流派融合,汇集来自不同国家和不同艺术世界的表演者。凭借坚定的人道主义舞蹈风格,很快为他赢得了国际赞誉。

2003年,一部以莫扎特为创作蓝本的剧目 《Wolf》,展现令人惊叹的生命力,以非比寻常的青春活力与奢华元素令观众深深著迷。Alain Platel随后将自己的作品定位为更加内省、激烈甚至具有苦行主义意味的舞蹈。这启发出许多新作品,如2006年以蒙特威尔迪作品为蓝本的《vsprs》 、2007年的《Nine Finger》和2008年的《pitié!》,并选用巴赫(Johann Sebastian Bach)的曲目作为配乐。2010年,他创作了《Out of Context - for Pina》和《Gardenia》,其中一场变装歌舞表演的尾声,让我们得以亲睹一群令人难忘的老艺术家的私生活。在他的作品中,例如2014年首演的 《tauberbach》和与Fabrizio Cassol合作的《Coup Fatal》两部作品,政治内涵来自于舞台上所展现的生活乐趣(joie de vivre)和活力,从而呈现各种生活状态或在无尊严条件下苟延残喘的生活境地。也正是这种“对生命的渴望”,推动着《Nicht schlafen》 (2016年)的舞者去寻找转型的可能性,探索瞬息万变的世界中的不安感和末日预感。Platel在2018年与Fabrizio Cassol合作创作 《Requiem pour L》,借此歌颂生命。.
