About
That's twisted by Baptiste Cazaux
A dancer and choreographer particularly active on the stages of Belgium, France, and Switzerland, Baptiste Cazaux is also a DJ, and his approach to choreography is shaped by it. That’s twisted, a “psychedelic strategy to transcend nostalgia.”
Inviting the audience up close to his performance, Baptiste Cazaux composes this solo as a journey through rhythms, bodily states, and multiple musical registers in a continuous stream. Playing with references to the past, while practicing a state of live presence, That’s twisted blurs temporal markers and perceptual habits in a game of incongruous sample assembly. Drawing inspiration from pop hits of the late 2000s, tinged with a joyful fatalism in the face of an uncertain future, his solo establishes a murky landscape, woven with echoes and changing presences: a form of contemporary melancholy, both paradoxical and delightful.
