Rambert's 'Paradis' at Théâtre de la Colline: Real-Time Choreography

exhibition · 2026-04-23

Rambert's new creation 'Paradis' at Théâtre de la Colline in Paris, running from January 7 to January 23, 2004, radicalizes the dynamic of loss at the edge of choreography. From Dante's poem, Rambert retains only a centripetal force that shifts the center to its periphery. 'Paradis' is a planetarium-like spectacle, set in motion by the invention of a new working process: 'real-time writing'.
