Ôno-Sensation

The French choreographer Pauline Le Boulba prefers the dialogue with the choreographies of others. While dancing she answers the dance. At the centre this time is Admiring La Argentina (1977), in which Kazuo Ôno, the father of butoh, at the age of 70 honoured the late flamenco dancer La Argentina. Le Boulba addresses him : now she is the spectator who becomes the dancer. This performance renews Ôno's love declaration and discovers a sensitive place in the memory which questions our relationship with absent peope and works of art. In Ôno-sensation, a unique mixture of comment and performance, Le Boulba revives forgotten movements with rap, slam and RnB as soundtrack and unforgettable dance as material.

Pauline Le Boulba is an artist ánd a researcher, with one leg on the dance stage and one leg next to it. Le Boulba has worked as a performer, adviser and dramaturgist for several performances (a.o of Pol Pi and Sorour Darabi, both artists were to be seen at NEXT 2018). From 2015 to 2017 she created a series of solos herself titled La Langue brisée.
