Adult, all levels, Compagnie Sylvain Huc
Sylvain Huc sees the body in movement as a language, but also as a technology, a set of techniques that he shares. The workshop unfolds in perpetual movement, from floor to standing. The repetition of gestures that gradually become more complex becomes a working principle. Made up of strata that gradually build up, these gestures, or motifs, cultivate physical rigor and precision of movement.
“There’s a strong artisanal dimension to my practice, in the sense that repetition of gesture is fundamental. I repeat and repeat the same gestures for years. Far from being boring, this repetition is, on the contrary, a perpetual rediscovery for me.”
Presentation of the artist
Since 2010, Sylvain Huc has been exploring the body as an infinite territory, at the crossroads of anthropology, abstraction and ritual. As a choreographer and director of his own company, he develops a sensitive style in which sound, light and movement interact, privileging shared experience over narrative.
Sylvain Huc at KLAP Maison pour la danse
Sylvain Huc and Mathilde Olivares will present La vie nouvelle at KLAP Maison pour la danse on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 at 8 p.m.
Sylvain Huc & Mathilde Olivares, artistic accomplices for a decade, have committed themselves, choreographers and performers, to the creation of a duo. Nurtured by numerous collaborations, their relationship, refined over the course of the pieces, the studio and exchanges, frees itself of any message, abandoning itself to the present of a common, refined language, in perpetual invention.
On a bare stage, a small white cylinder invites itself as a discreet but active presence, linking bodies and movements. In La vie nouvelle, relationships are played out between loss and recovery, continuity and modulation, in a space open to all possibilities.
The gesture is an invitation to contemplate dance unfolding, to watch bodies “open”, in perpetual renewal. Through matter and mystery, the experience is both physical and poetic: an invitation to experience, with the audience, a moment of trust, presence and infinite potential.

Verso libre, flamenco happening
Pulsations! Enter the dance
In the museum With María Moreno
Verso libre is all about dancing fever, dancing anywhere, dancing for pleasure, with or without motivation, without ambiguity, in search of new stimuli to find new forms. On this occasion, the bailaora (dancer) focuses on sound. All the locations resonate authentically, evoking memory and contributing to the reading and interpretation of the space itself. Here as elsewhere, the sound space shapes the place, just like a column, a ceiling or a cornice; bodies also react differently to sound, and...On Sunday, Jan 18, 2026

For the general public with Poolidor from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Bal trad takes on a whole new dimension with Poolidor, a duo that fuses traditional Berry music with the haunting sounds of North Africa. On stage, a cobbled-together hurdy-gurdy and machines face off against a vinyl turntable to create a raw, hypnotic sound at the crossroads of eras. For this ball, they are joined by Moroccan singer and percussionist Bachir Rouimi. Together, they create a bridge between traditions, blending Western melodies with the soul of the Maghreb… A sensory and...On Saturday, Mar 7, 2026
