Louise Lecavalier

A high-voltage, radical, raw contemporary dance piece by the celebrated Canadian dancer Louise Lecavalier.

Lecavalier has choreographed her first show entirely by herself, an intensely personal work called So Blue. It comes to London's Southbank Centre as part of a world tour.

So Blue moves through vivid obsessive sequences of movement inspired by simple everyday gestures. The piece is performed to DJ Mercan Dede's fast-paced, intensely rhythmical soundtrack, which produces waves that ripple through the bodies of the dancers.

Louise Lecavalier and Frederic Tavernini examine spontaneity and speed to expose the laws of the human body and its limitations.
