La Parenthèse

Trained as a dancer and initiated into theater and music, Christophe Garcia quickly steered his work towards choreography. He joined the École Rudra Béjart before becoming a member of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne in 1998. Subsequently, he worked as a performer with several artistic personalities such as Robert Wilson, Robert Lepage, and the Cas Public company. Driven by his desire to create his own work, Christophe founded his own company, La Parenthèse, in 2000. Winner of several international choreography awards, he is regularly invited to create for international companies and major musical institutions (Béjart Ballet, Scapino Ballet, Ballet d’Europe, national operas and orchestras, etc.). Since 2016, Christophe has been associated with the Pôle National Supérieur de Danse de Cannes-Mougins. Christophe Garcia's writing is precise, embodied, and multifaceted. He questions his writing by engaging in dialogue with other artistic disciplines and creators. Playful and amused, Christophe also enjoys surprising his audiences with his performances. He constantly redefines the relationship with the audience and offers surprising and immersive forms in unique venues for very diverse audiences. The singularity of his work ultimately manifests in a form of exhilaration, luminosity, and in the discreet poetry that he always hints at, regardless of the subjects and forms he takes on.
