Pierre Rigal’s “Scandale” will be on stage at Sadler’s Wells, London. It’s a Breakin’ Convention presentation. “’Scandale’ is Pierre Rigal’s shamanic piece investigating the birth of choreography. Is music or movement the mother of dance? Set against a simple backdrop, the soundtrack ranges between extremes, from ambient chamber music to electronic sound effects. Simultaneously, words, cries and scandalous chants exert energy, as what begins as disorganised chaos slowly falls into structured choreography and a hip hop spectacle,” writes the Sadler’s Wells website.The show features dancers Steve ‘Lelong’ Kamseu, Camille ‘Kami’ Regneault, Julien ‘Bee D’ Saint-Maximin, members of b-boy crew Yeah Yellow, as seen on the Breakin’ Convention 2017 Luxembourg and U.S.A. tour, as well as at Sadler’s Wells Sampled 2018.As per the website, the show is Breakin’ Convention’s initiative to programme full-length works at Sadler’s Wells, providing the finest platform for grassroots hip hop theater makers, as well as welcoming the vision of contemporary choreographers working with street dance forms.The music in the show is clear, simple and direct. “It is that of the air that enters and leaves in the lungs of this farandole of dancers. Breath as vital source of movement spreads into empty space. Later, gasps, jerks, scansions, whistles, singing, shouting and screaming seize these organisms thrown into an irrepressible trance. And that, until the silence chooses to relieve them and to tear them out of this maelstrom of lost voices ... As a respite before all this starts again,” says the Pierre Rigal website.The website further adds: “Free and imprisoned at the same time, the youth chants incomprehensible words of love, onomatopoeias of revolt or lamentations of hope. She does not know what to do with these swirls of language and her own word. She prefers to make a rhythm, music to dance, to enter the dementia and let the energy of the body to trip the course of things. So that scandals and scandals are absorbed and overthrown by time. For the best and not the worst! The show will be on stage on September 5, 2018 and September 6, 2018 at Sadler’s Wells.
