After his hypnotic Möbius, choreographer Rachid Ouramdane returns to the Romaeuropa Festival with his new creation for the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève. Twenty-one dancers on stage- to the music of Julius Eastman and alongside prominent highliner and modern tightrope walker Nathan Paulin and other extreme sports people- attempt to overturn the laws of gravity in the name of lightness, collectivity and the potential capacities of the body.
