Alban Richard

Shows

Alban Richard’s pro­duc­tions con­sti­tute a rep­er­toire of cho­reo­graph­ic pieces of var­ied aes­thet­ic res­ol­u­tions. Each is based on a close rela­tion­ship with a music­al work drawn from a wide-ran­ging rep­er­toire: span­ning from medi­ev­al to con­tem­por­ary music, it has fea­tured baroque, elec­tron­ic, Wag­n­er or Inu­it songs. Gen­er­ally per­formed live, the music­al score instils struc­tures and forms in the dance. The music is shown and the dance is heard.
Alban Richard’s shows are per­formed in pres­ti­gi­ous ven­ues ded­ic­ated to dance or music. In France, the Mont­pel­li­er Dance Fest­iv­al, the Lyon Dance Bien­nale, the Théâtre Nation­al de Chail­lot and the Phil­har­monie de Par­is have all hos­ted his pro­duc­tions. Abroad, his most icon­ic pieces have been enjoyed by the audi­ences of the Jul­id­ans Fest­iv­al in Ams­ter­dam, the Joyce Theat­er in New York or the Beeth­oven­fest in Bon.
