Synopsis
What if the best way to reinvent yourself was to listen to how you feel? Ad Libitum, Latin for “at will”, translates this desire to change skin into dance and music.
Created and performed by Simon Le Borgne, former dancer with the Paris Opera Ballet, and Ulysse Zangs, musician, composer and dancer, this piece combining dance and live drums is a sensitive dialogue between two men driven by the energy of breath and the beating of the heart.
