Director of the Centre Choréographique National d’Orléans since 2017, Maud Le Pladec has built a choreographic language linked to the musical universe. From pop to post-minimalist American music, sound, dance and text have always found a balance in her shows, generating a strongly perceptive dimension. The choreographer arrives at Romaeuropa Festival with 27- perspectives, to confront a masterpiece of European music: Schubert’s unfinished Symphony n. 8. Inspired by Rémy Zaugg’s 27 esquisses perceptives (27 perceptual sketches) and in collaboration with musician Pete Harden, Le Pladec seeks to recompose Shubert’s masterpiece, orchestrating different sequences of musical and choreographic variations in an attempt to make it complete. Ten dancers from diverse backgrounds come together in choreographic symphony, within a remarkable construct that manages to make dance audible and music visible.
