Piano Works Debussy
STUK with 30CC
Piano Works Debussy is a duet between dancer Lisbeth Gruwez and pianist Claire Chevallier. Together they seek the space between the notes in the compositions of Debussy, rebel and challenger among form-fixing composers.
The movements are suggestions, not expressions, in line with Debussy's quest for ‘la musique immatérielle’. Rather than showing an unbending reality, Gruwez and Chevalier appeal to the imagination.
For the first time in her career, Gruwez chose classical music. After training in classical ballet, she found freedom in contemporary dance, developing a movement language that is now a reference. In this respect, Piano Works Debussy is an extraordinary dialogue between a classical and a contemporary framework, that just about reveals Gruwez's choreographic trajectory.Lisbeth Gruwez: "Piano Works Debussy is a watercolour. Think of the lightness of colours flowing into each other, drying for a moment, and then being re-moistened to form new connections. Debussy's music irrigates the dance and shakes the material again and again."
