An ironic, visceral dance exploring the depths of the body and the human being, between power and fragility. An investigation into the limits between tension and release, balance and battle.
La Grive is a contemporary dance company founded in 2019 by Clémentine Maubon and Bastien Lefèvre, the associate artists of the Théâtre Louis Aragon in Tremblay-en-France. They both explored different artistic languages and created individual projects before working together on various productions, including Abdomen – which has been awarded at Les Petites Scènes Ouvertes 2020.
