Duet

Created in Feb. 2015 at Cuvier | CDC d’Aquitaine and at Gymnase | CDC Roubaix, lenght 25 min

Two virtuoso breakdancers are seen as they set in motion and dart away from each other amid fleeting moments of contact and an interplay of moves choreographed for two. Their fluid movements are deliberately fragmented as their bodies go into stop-motion and are thrown into darkness, which thereby interrupts the action in mid-flow. Our eyes are filled with powerful images, inviting us to reflect upon the different kinds of relationship that might exist between the two dancers. And yet images appear, change shape and switch places without really forming a logical progression of events.

Once upon a time… Lettres à Zerty proposes another view of humanity, a vision of the world, wherein events are treated in a non-hierarchical, indiscriminate fashion.

Piece for 5 dancers and one actress

Created in dec. 2008 at Festival H²O in Aulnay-sous-Bois, length 40 min

Tonight is the end of the world… The journey of a soul tormented by apocalyptic visions… The unconscious thoughts of the actress, embodied by five dancers, confront each other, wrestle, adjust, reveal her to herself and finally lead her to a state of ultimate jubilation: the ball of the end of the world, where bodies unite to celebrate the joy of being. Theatricality of movement, fluidity, complexity of an intricate dance, involving one or several bodies, the strongly singular dancers progress within an emotionally charged movement, which resonates inside the imaginary.

“Like in a game of Meccano, the bodies will slowly assemble into symbiotic duets. With those suspended equilibriums, Anne Nguyen gives a surprising reading of the vocabulary of breakdance, that she reinvents and personalizes.”
Thomas Hahn – Danser – June 2009

A locking show for six dancers

Created in apr. 2007 at Dansens Hus in Stockholm (Sweden), length 30 min

“Locking is to dance what joy is to life”

This festive dance has been able to travel over three decades without losing any of its positive energy and good humor, and that, through funk music. A Locker is, first and foremost, a character. He is a dancer who has been able to develop his own personal poses and features. Whenever esthetics transcend the dance itself, there is something more in it for the audience. On a Jazz, Soul and Funk repertoire, six dancers dream of the 70s… From the burlesque opera scene to the cabaret, with a detour behind the scenes, they apply Locking to all the fantasies of their imagination. The Lockers make use of their many native languages to talk to each other and to the audience. They play, imagine, dream, argue and tease each other on a succession of scenes that each reveals their multiple facets. But in the end, they all share the same philosophy: “Keep It Funky!”
