World Champions

World Champions is the first part of a choreographic project inspired by the martial arts imagery. 

Based on the frenetic music by the famous pianist Hiromi, Grégoire Manhes & Eloïse Grastilleur imagine a muscular and explosive duet with a hybrid gesture, between dance and martial arts. Oscillating between

the phantasmagoric video game's physicality, the greatest kung-fu movies' martial fervor or the absurd intensity of some sportive training, this short creation is sweating references and makes fun of them by twisting it.

​

Performance created with lthe financial support of the Département de l'Ain for "Faites vos jeux !", cultural and sportive programmation for the summer 2024.

​

The project is supported by the Culture Ministry and the DRAC Auvergne Rhône-Alpes for the "Cultural Summer" & "Culturals Holidays" events.
