BETON
Julien Carlier/Cie ABIS

- Dance
A choreographic piece designed to take over skateparks, BETON, explores these urban territories as open stages where movement dialogues with raw architecture. A cross between breakdance and skateboarding, the piece seizes on these reliefs and curves to reveal all their physical and poetic charge.
