A day before Christmas eve, the 23rd of December, ushers one of the most innovative duos of the French Contemporary Ballet scene, La Vouivre, who will be performing their International signature show [Oups] at the Tom Mann Theatre in Surry Hills.

The dancers and choreographers, Berengere Fournier and Samuel Faccioli – all the way from France, a remarkable couple, united both in life and on stage - will showcase an unforgettable performance. They will take you on a journey, a melange of dance and theatre, something extraordinary, never seen before in Australia.

Using poetry and humour, [Oups] portrays the initial stages of a couple’s relationship, intensifying the drama with precise and exacting alacrity to create a beguiling interpretation of their journey. From sweet naive touches to unbridled passion, the dance is inspired by everyday gestures, transforming them into an alternative sign language.

The duet plays with contrast, cleverly crafted with juxtaposition; and whether they are playful or sombre, their approach is spiked with satire.

Precision and accuracy are the cornerstones of this duo as well as sensitivity, humour and acrobatics.

Their subject is the human, his dreams and fantasies, which they explore with superb subtlety, demonstrating every nuance. Their performance abounds with fresh fortuity, parody and vigor. See youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/vlalavouivre#p/a/f/0/4nUyE_NV33k

While on holiday in Australia with their new born baby, Zadig, Berengere and Samuel as La Vouivre have taken the opportunity to present their work to the Sydney scene with the view of bringing their new show named Pardi}, to the Sydney Opera House next year.

Reserve your seat amongst the 300 people in the audience to sit in on this conceptual and sensory delight.
