EUROPE IMAGES INTERNATIONAL - M5

Synopsis

Director Bruno Carette followed Adieu, François Raffinot's choreographic piece, on its tour of Asia.
The show, a tribute to Dominique Bagouet, created on July 9th, 1994 at the Avignon Festival, was a hit. The film's objective is not to just shoot the show but to harness its impact on the very different audiences found in Hanoi, Beijing and Jakarta. On a very sustained rhythm, the company moves, sets up, dances and pulls down from Seoul to Canton, just as it would in France from Roubaix to Tourcoing.
It's a story of encounters: a choreographer with the various audiences and that of a company immersed each evening in a different civilisation than its own.
