Joyaux lourdement sous-estimés
Dance
Moving through tenderness, fusion, dependency, violence — with perhaps the aim of reaching a fragile state of reconciliation – Joyaux lourdement sous-estimés is a pas de deux, a love duet on the edge of collapse, a sensual and ambivalent embrace that explores the extreme territories of desire. With this second creation, following LoveLettersOrNot (2021), Bast Hippocrate reveals a choreographic language that feels utterly raw and intimate, confirming his emergence on the international scene.
“I wanted to understand how two bodies can hold each other without losing themselves.” Within a fragmented soundscape haunted by recorded breaths and traces of pop music, the performers drift between surrender, euphoria and dizziness. Shaped in part by the experience of chemsex, the piece transforms the reality of gay intimacy into a physical, blazing and deeply shareable fable.
A Swiss, Afro-descendant and queer artist trained at La Manufacture after an autodidactic path, Bast Hippocrate has presented his work at Swiss Dance Days, Santarcangelo, the Swiss Selection in Avignon and Spring Forward 2026.
