Classe Sick

Classe sick is a piece for seven performers: two female dancers and five male dancers, representing a group of secondary school students on a school trip to a castle. Model student, prodigy, distracted, discreet and dreamy, teacher on edge; all the characters have their own particularities, their own personalities and their own unique dance styles. The diversity of styles presented reflects the diversity of the dancers on stage. Classical dance, breakdancing, locking and even freestyle football are all mixed together.

Through a highly expressive form of choreography, the play humorously caricatures the French monarchy and pokes fun at the students’ visit to the castle. The audience is invited to immerse themselves in the protagonists’ vision of French culture and history. The play raises the question of identification with this history, which clearly seems distant to them.

On the stage, a huge chandelier inspired by the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles serves as a prop for the dancers, who use all kinds of techniques to make this set design spectacular.
