Thibault Lac, Tobias Koch & Tore Wallert

At the crossroads of sculpture, concert and performance, Such Sweet Thunder brings together dancer Thibault Lac, composer Tobias Koch and visual artist Tore Wallert. A duo evolves between risers and the audience around them, in an immersive sonic and visual landscape. Distorted pop songs, a cappella voices and electronic sounds accompany this reverie, where crumbling archetypes of popular culture float between presence and imagination. Lassos intersect with surrealist fragments, in sensory effects. Working on imbalance and instability, this piece, which marks Thibault Lac’s first time choreographing, makes elusive characters appear and disappear, at once alone and together. After picking up the Young Choreographer’s Award at the ImPulsTanz festival in Vienna in 2019, Such Sweet Thunder is being presented for the first time in France.

Thibault Lac studied architecture before training in dance at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. He met Jérôme Bel and Tino Sehgal very early on in his career, before working as a performer with Trajal Harrell, Mathilde Monnier and Ligia Lewis. He benefits from a long-format residency at CN D.
The Swiss-born musician and composer Tobias Koch studied at the Hochschule für Musik in Basel. He works in the fields of performing arts, cinema and visual arts; his musical compositions have been presented in numerous festivals and museums.
Tore Wallert is a contemporary artist and director of Swedish origin. He divides his time between Stockholm and Berlin, and his work has been exhibited worldwide. In 2016 he wrote and directed the film Walkers.
