Continuing his search for an ever-livelier Baroque art, Bruno Benne embarks on his first group piece in Rapides with a whole new generation of dancers. Based on the luminous and baroque vitality of the suites of Water Music by G.F.Handel, he thinks with the composer Youri Bessières of a ceremonial art that is as current as it is modern.

With ten dancers, Rapides breaks down into two mirrored tableaux to bring out the modernity, evolution and renewal of Baroque creation.

This piece offers an orchestral vision of choreographic composition and games of variations with modular and hypnotic repetitions around two baroque notions: perfect symmetry and extreme profusion.
