The first time I saw it a few years ago, I was sitting in a public garden when a group of students came by and started performing. There was something very fresh that one can only see during the first moments of a dance that has not come to maturity, in the creative passion that the interpreters have when they invent new movements in total freedom.<br />As far as I know &ldquo;Elektro Kif &ldquo; is the first experience of a theatrical show based on electro dance&rdquo;<br /><br />Blanca Li<br />To read more: click <a href="/en/download?file=pdf_89_file_en.pdf&amp;file_name=press-release-elektro-kif.pdf">here</a><br /><br />&nbsp;<br /><br /><a href="/en/event/2/le-jardin-des-delices">GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS</a><a href="/en/event/2/le-jardin-des-delices"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><img style="margin: 10px; float: right;" src="/files/image_18_image_fr.jpg" alt="" width="260" /></em></span></span></span></a><br /><br />A choreographic performance for 9 dancers and 1 pianist inspired by Hieronymus Bosch&rsquo;s painting created in June 2009 (Montpellier dance Festival). <br />Duration : 1.25 <br /><em>photo Laurent Philippe</em><br /><br />"The Garden of Earthly Delights, located in the central panel of the painting, is framed by paradise and hell, and depicts a deliciously unlikely world where men and women live in harmony, where life is a game, a place of youth... I never found the strength or the opportunity to dedicate myself to a choreography inspired by this painting until now. My decisive encounter with Eve Ramboz, the famous film director and specialist of visual digital effects, has given a new rise to my project. Her new cartoon project was inspired by Garden of Earthly Delights so our work was a way to give life to the painting through cinema, body and dance&rdquo;.
