A solo performer-vocalist traces a trace across gender and the traditions of Spanish music and dance. The much-anticipated visit to Japan by a globally acclaimed choreographer whose work heralds a new era in performance!

With memories still fresh in local audiences’ minds after his appearance at Kyoto Experiment 2018, eminent French choreographer and dancer François Chaignaud brings his work to Japan for the third time. Premiered in 2017 and acclaimed around the world, this performance is a unique experiment playing with contemporary gender identity and the traditions of Spanish music and dance. Conceived in collaboration with the artist Nino Laisné, it is reminiscent of the Virginia Woolf novel “Orlando”, whose titular character is a young transgender aristocrat. Unfolding as remarkable solo dance with singing, Chaignaud transcends gender while shifting appearance and identity. In this stunning stage work, Chaignaud rides on the timbre of the theorbo, bandoneon, viola da gamba, historical and traditional percussion, and baroque guitar as he constantly transforms just like history, art, and society are always doing.

François Chaignaud

Born in Rennes, France, François Chaignaud started studying dance from the age of six. He earned a diploma in 2003 from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Danse de Paris. He subsequently began collaborating with many choreographers, such as Boris Charmatz, Emmanuelle Huynh, Alain Buffard, and Gilles Jobin. With his sensual and sublime work like “Romances inciertos, un autre Orlando” (2017), he has pursued the physical rigor of dance, the power to evoke something from song, and the potential for dance in spaces that arise between historical references. In 2005, he formed the company Vlovajob Pru with Cecilia Bengolea. Together they have staged “TWERK, Dub Love”, and other performances around the world to great acclaim. They have also created work for major dance companies in Europe including the Lyon Opera Ballet, Ballet de Lorraine, and Tanztheater Wuppertal.
