Aurelien Bory and Kaori Ito take an experimental leap forward in the use of light, sound and movement. The purpose of this creation is to explore the relationship between the outer, physical body of the dancer and her inner world.

Aurélien Bory’s production What’s Become of You? (questcequetudeviens?), danced and choreographed by flamenco dancer Stéphanie Fuster, presented to great acclaim at the Mime Festival

This year, London International Mime Festival featured the restaging of Compagnie 111’s Plan B, the surreal interpretation of a white-collar worker’s dream. The piece, which originated 2003 with the encounter of circus artist Aurélien Bory with actor Phil Soltanoff, is a well-calibrated mix of circus and physical theatre that twirls as a dance and transports you into a Magritte-like world.

It’s a pretty daring thing to make a piece of machinery – albeit an impressive piece of machinery – the focal point of a dance-theatre performance, but Compagnie 111’s artistic director Aurélien Bory needed only the first few seconds of Sans Objet to arrest the audience’s attention.
