Show notes

Today, I’m joined by Ben Duke, a British choreographer, director and performance maker.

As the Théâtre de la Ville dedicates a two-month focus to his work, we talk about dance and theatre, humour and great stories.

What can dance say that words cannot? Why do we still need great stories? And how can humour be part of all this?

Let’s listen.

*******

Aujourd’hui, je reçois Ben Duke, chorégraphe, metteur en scène et artiste britannique.

À l’occasion du focus de deux mois que lui consacre le Théâtre de la Ville, nous parlons de danse et de théâtre, d’humour et de grands récits.

Que peut raconter la danse que les mots ne peuvent pas dire ? Pourquoi avons-nous encore besoin de grandes histoires ? Et comment l’humour peut-il être au service de tout cela ?

On l’écoute avec joie.
