With Battleground, Louise Lecavalier dresses up the dance in shining armour. The body has been socialized, filled with ideals, doubts and chimeras. It is under the yoke of the relationship with the other. The stage becomes a chess- board, an arena in which a knight and his squire have picaresque adventures. Halfway between a philosophical fable and a display of physical prowess, Louise Lecavalier delivers once again, a work of breathtaking virtuosity.
→ From 1981 to 1999, Louise Lecavalier, along with Édouard Lock, have incarnated an extreme version of dance. In 2006, she established her own company, and continues her research on the strength and vulnerability of the body. A critically acclaimed dancer and choreographer, she has received many prestigious awards.
