About Boris Charmatz
Dancer, choreographer, and creator of experimental projects, Boris Charmatz emerged in 1993 as a major figure in French contemporary dance with A bras le Corps, a duo created with Dimitri Chamblas. From 2009 to 2018 he was director of the CCN de Rennes et de Bretagne, which he transformed into Musée de la danse, an experimental space to rethink the relationship between the public and the territories of art. Pieces like Aatt enen tionon (1996), enfant (2011) created for the Cour d'honneur at the Festival d'Avignon, or 10000 gestes (2017) have been shown around the world. His work has been the subject of retrospectives at MoMA (New York), Tate Modern (London), Festival d’Automne (Paris).
Since 2019, he has ceaselessly been questioning the foundations of his discipline with his company Terrain. In 2022, Boris Charmatz became director of Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch to develop, with Terrain, a new project between Germany and France. In 2024, he was the “Artiste Complice” at the 78th Festival d'Avignon.
