Bande-annonce
Créée par le chorégraphe britannique Jonathan Watkins, l’œuvre retrace l’histoire d’un garçon et d’un oiseau au cœur déchiré par le temps, par le biais de la danse, de la musique et le jeu gracieux de marionnettes. Coïncidant avec le 50e anniversaire de la sortie de Kes de Ken Loach, Kes Reimagined est une adaptation du roman A Kestrel for a Knave de l’auteur anglais Barry Hines. Se déroulant dans une communauté minière du Yorkshire, cette nouvelle interprétation de ce classique littéraire, transposée en une œuvre chorégraphiée et sans paroles, brille par sa scénographie d’une grande créativité et par sa prouesse stylistique et narrative. Ce récit imaginaire emmène le public en voyage avec Billy Casper. Il aborde des thèmes complexes qui font encore écho à notre société actuelle : l’éducation, les relations humaines, les émotions telles la colère, la joie, la tristesse, l’amour et la haine, sentiments sublimés par la grâce et la beauté des danseuses et des danseurs. Cette production d’une grande poésie est une nouvelle partition musicale fabuleuse et une évocation émouvante du nord de l’Angleterre.
