Details

Josef Nadj is a master at uniting the worlds of choreography, mime and installation art. Les Philosophes is presented in three acts: an installation of video tableaux, a 30-minute film projected onto four panels and a 50-minute live performance. With five performers - four philosophers and a central father-figure - the piece delves into masculinity and relationships between generations. Les Philosophes is inspired by the life and world of Polish writer and artist Bruno Schulz, and received the Critics' Grand Prize for Dance 2001-2002 from the French Union of Theatre, Music and Dance Critics. Set inside a specifically designed circular performance space, only 120 people a night will be able to get close to the creative genius of Josef Nadj.
