French artist Rachid Ouramdane is at the forefront of Europe’s new generation of conceptual dance-thinkers and performers, who are bringing vital new ideas to the stage, mixing dance, documentary and multimedia art. His performances probe the emotional and imaginary worlds of whomever he encounters and are full of poetic and compelling images. The ever-present video images serve as an extension of the other, giving us access into his/her mental space and setting up a dialogue between individuals and their doubles. ‘For all its bleakness, it has an ineffable beauty, especially when the human presence disappears’ (The Guardian 2010, 4 star review).
