A hypnotic ballet to music by Steve Reich
Choreographer Olivier Dubois – the French enfant terrible of modern dance – created Come out as an allegory, a metaphor for our battles. With our life, hope, love…

Hypnotic
The 23 dancers of the leading French Ballet de Lorraine compete. They withdraw and turn inward to rediscover and reform themselves. Steve Reich’s music is the driving force in their emotional quest. Reich opens the piece with the sentence: “I had to, like, open the bruise up and let some of the bruise blood come out to show them. So I wanted to see that blood boil, like a rose colored subcutaneous red. Hoping to see it spilled, the mark of a triumphant life event. And it’s hypnotic.”

About Olivier Dubois
Dancer/choreographer Oliver Dubois (1972) is a latecomer to dance. Only at the age of 23 did he enter the dance world after an (economic) study. For years he took two to three classes a day to catch up. With results. He developed himself with choreographers such as Sasha Waltz and Jan Fabre, founded his own company Compagnie Olivier Dubois in 2007 and in 2011 the dance magazine Dance Europe named Dubois one of the 25 best dancers in the world. As the enfant terrible of French dance, he does not shy away from confronting themes or images to tell his story. More than developing a language of movement, he is interested in broaching themes that we still too often avoid: gender issues, sexuality, violence, taboos.
