BOB’ART Opinion Public Company – Belgium ; Boris Hristov Cultural Centre, 7 p.m.

Drawing inspiration from their personal and professional experience with the Béjart Ballet Lausanne, the members of the Opinion Public dance company are driven by a common desire: to create a distinctive choreographic style.

Opinion Public is presenting its 2013 creation Bob’Art, a satire on the excesses of modern art. The piece takes particular aim at the performing arts and their penchant for over-psychologizing, ultimately disconnecting the performance from its art form and audience. Through an irreverent mix of dance and theatre, Opinion Public puts on a quality show that pokes fun at those who aren’t even funny anymore.

Bob’Art has been presented at the Festival Temps d’Aimer (Biarritz), Festival on y danse – CWB (Paris), and Baltic Ballet Festival (Preiļi, Latvia).

Choreographer: Etienne Béchard

Dancers: Etienne Béchard, Johann Clapson, Sidonie Fossé, Victor Launay, Arthur Louarti
