Les Chambres des Jacques
Les Chambres des Jacques was pointedly described by The New York Times as “a rare instance of a dance that feels as if it were plucked straight from the choreographer’s extremely specific imagination and set, full-grown, onstage”. It is at once heartbreaking, wild, and beautifully human.
