LIFT 2024: Nadia Beugré – L'Homme rare
With innovative choreography and staging, Nadia Beugré brings perceptions of gender, and how we view and objectify bodies, into stark relief.
The issue of gender has always featured in Nadia Beugré’s work, but in L’Homme rare she tackles it head-on, questioning the attention paid to bodies and the qualities attributed to their movements.
Starting with a game that blurs perceptions of gender, the choreographer places the spectator in the position of a voyeur, inviting the audience to experience her research on our understanding of the body, particularly Black and male, in history and today.
