about the programme

The French choreographer and theatre maker Antonin Rioche exposes the sore spots of life with piercing and personal work. He likes to combine and open up new horizons within art disciplines. This talented artist has been as The Choice of Korzo and Nederlands Dans Theater for 2020.

Glitter is a choreographed composition about love, fame and recognition. It lures us into our childhood in which everything is still possible and dreams have not yet vanished. A melancholic glimpse into lost moments propels the work forward. “The real paradises are the paradise we lost” said Proust. With a hint of humour, the cast embodies intimate memories of dreams that have long been behind us. In Glitter, stardom beckons and puts it in sharp contract with reality. Flirting with tragic burlesque, they take us to what we all recognize: the illusion of greatness that enchants us all.

Time passing is a recurrent theme in Antonin’s pieces. He sees beauty as a true source of interest: if you put enough time and contemplation, everything becomes beautiful. It’s all in the details. His endeavors lie somewhere between the worlds of virtuosity and experimentation. Antonin has always been a creator and a storyteller, dance happens to be one of his predominant mediums.

Choreography: 'Glitter' by Antonin Rioche.

In his earliest work, consisting mainly of choreographies for the theatre and dance films, Antonin is in constant search of a form of hyperrealism. “I have a predilection for surrealism and the reality it contains.” Think of dance in slow motion: “The dancer focusses attention on something, but meanwhile the dancer is hard at work to, at the right moment, make an unnatural, detailed, and deliberate movement, precisely placed. You have to then think differently to create something that the audience must experience.” In his work, Antonin wants to focus the attention on these movements to spotlight certain subjects that motivate people towards a certain way of moving, thinking, and acting.
