Journal d'inquietude
UK Premiere. Festival audiences will remember Thierry Baë for his performance in Josef Nadj’s Les Philosophes in Dance Umbrella 2005. Now Thierry makes his UK choreographic debut with his delightful and insightful Journal d’Inquietude (Diary of Disquiet). What’s it like to be an independent artist, trying to create a new work in the face of a mountain of difficulties? In Journal d’Inquietude, Thierry Baë tells us his problems and tackles them in an extremely personal, touching and humourous way. Struck by the frustration and solitude of developing new dance works as the years pass, the challenge of how to get a work ‘seen’ and the limitations of an ageing body, Thierry sets out to find a way. On his journey he encounters some of the ‘greats’ of French contemporary dance, asking for their advice and assistance, and in the process moves seamlessly between the realms of fiction and reality. Funny, revealing and ultimately satisfying, Journal d’Inquietude tells it like it is in the tough world of the independent choreographer. Dance Umbrella
