Low Pieces is a performance about the audience and a question about the nature of theatre and its capabilities. At the same time, it is a demanding and courageous meeting with the spectator / partner. Together with his collaborators, Xavier Le Roy creates a fascinating social situation that has clear and honest rules based on a dialogue with the audience that is extremely rare in the world of theatre. His performance transcends the boundaries of dance, and theatre, and defies all conventions. It challenges the consequences of dividing the space betwen the stage and the audience. It poses questions about the role of the spectator as the co-creator of theatre; about perception, its limits and capabilities, and about who decides what shape and character it takes. Low Pieces is created by outstanding dancers, choreographers, performers, researchers and teachers from all over Europe, who have never met before on one stage. In 2011, Low Pieces made its name as one of the biggest sensations in festivals of contemporary dance and theatre (including Avignon Festival in 2011). It will be presented in Poland for the first time.
