Yoann Bourgeois, a French choreographer-director, creates mesmerizing performances that interact with physical forces like gravity. His viral video of climbing stairs, using a trampoline, captivated audiences and involved celebrities. Originally trained with Cirque Plume after his parents' separation, Bourgeois emphasizes playfulness in his art. His notable work includes Ellipse, where dancers in Weeble-like costumes engage in a dance that symbolizes the elusive nature of connection. Bourgeois continues to innovate with new performances, including his upcoming outdoor piece, Passage, at the Greenwich and Docklands festival.
Bourgeois plays with invisible physical forces like gravity and tension, using them to create performances where bodies interact with symbolic ideas, enhancing the experience.
In his performances, dancers wear costumes resembling lifesize Weebles, which rock and spin without falling, representing the constant struggle for connection.
