The brand-new performance Ad Noctum is a tribute of the trend-setting French choreographer Christian Rizzo to “the dark” and the nocturnes of Chopin and Satie. For this dance duet Rizzo works again with two performers who already shone in his previous performances : Julie Guibert and Kerem Gelebek. The third protagonist is a totem/monolith which sends out sound, light and image over the stage and allows the dancers to move in a virtual world. Rizzo has named his company l'Association Fragile because he is more interested in a vulnerable dancer than in a technically perfectly trained performer. Rizzo was artist in residence in deSingel and the Opéra de Lille before he became the new artistic leader of the Centre Choréographique National de Montpellier Languedoc Roussillon.
