Christian Rizzo takes inspiration from his memories of a folk dance show at a festival in Istanbul in 2004, creating this piece using the feelings that the masculine, Turkish folklore performance evoked in him. Channeling these emotions into d’après une histoire vraie, Rizzo examines dance as it relates to communities, and how movement ties individuals together. Normally known for his thoughtful and introspective approach to choreography, this fierce and dynamic work sees Rizzo break away from his established canon. The movements and the music of d’après une histoire vraie play with both popular and contemporary forms. While taking cues from folkloric dance, Rizzo continues in his choreographic studies of falling and touching. Initially concentrating on minimal, ritualistic movements, his cast of dancers are propelled by two drummers, whose rapid-fire percussion lead the audience towards a neo-traditional rock rave.
