“An incredible experience” ***** La Nación on Pierre Rigal’s ÉRECTION

WORLD PREMIERE
The Gate Theatre, Compagnie Dernière Minute, Théâtre Garonne, Toulouse and Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis present

PRESS

Created and performed by
Pierre Rigal
15 February – 8 March 2008
17 Performances only!

Rigal is renowned for his physical prowess as performer, agile inventiveness as choreographer and brilliant use of live mixed sound. In PRESS, Rigal explores how our personal space is confined by the pressures of modern life. He achieves this by setting himself a Houdini-esque choreographic challenge that makes even the tiny Gate look spacious. Rigal works in collaboration with lighting designer Frédéric Stoll and sound designer Nihil Bordures who perform live and in response to him each evening.
