Glitter is a choreographed composition about love, fame and recognition. It lures us into our childhood in which everything is still possible and dreams have not yet vanished. A melancholic glimpse into lost moments propels the work forward.
After the premiere program maker Joëlle Raus Prudence talked with Antonin Rioche.
During the CaDance Festival Antonin was also one of the table guests during the Studio Talk: New ways of presenting dance. During this talk, together with Antonin Comestaz and Wubkje Kuindersma, the makers talked about the upswing of dance films as a form of presenting work. This talk was hosted by Rajiv Bhagwanbali. Futhermore, three dancefilms premiered 2m2 (Antonin Comestaz), SKYRIGHTS (Wubkje Kuindersma) and Finally a sign of life (Antonin Rioche).
