Details

In Press the French choreographer and performer Pierre Rigal explores how our personal space is confined by the pressures of modern life, performing in a specially constructed boxed stage less than three and a half metres wide. Having started his career as a 400 metre runner and hurdler, Rigal then studied maths and economics before training as a contemporary dancer. In Press he sets himself a Houdini-esque choreographic challenge, which evolves into an extraordinary feat of physical prowess and daring. Rigal works in collaboration with lighting designer Fr?d?ric Stoll and sound designer Nihil Bordures who perform live and in response to him each evening.
