Je suis lent
Loïc Touzé
Loïc Touzé recounts his connection to dance, and with it, an entire chapter of contemporary dance. From his years at the Paris Opera to the invention of his own language, via the new dance movement of the 1980s, he unfolds an intimate journey —how one abandons the virtuosity of ballet to learn laziness, a taste for wandering, humor, and delicacy. A danced lecture on a human scale, where dance thinks aloud.
