The Elsewhere of Oneself
With his first solo, Protéiforme, Benoît Nieto Duran pushed the demanding boundaries of breakdance and hip-hop movements to create a new style.
Today, as part of a duo, he is continuing this exploration by tackling the notion of ‘elsewhere’: the elsewhere of oneself, the elsewhere that is the other. Here we are dealing with the aesthetics of ‘distortion’ that allows us to see the absurdity of our everyday gestures. Starting from the imitation of the dancers, Benoît Nieto Duran creates a new choreography. In his pursuit of a free and ideal language, this creation, straddling depth and dynamism, presents another exploration of movement. Surprising to say the least.
