In Du Bout Des Doigts, Belgian artists Gabriella Iacono and Grégory Grosjean turn their fingertips into dancers and miniature sets into entire worlds. A man and a woman dance together through time, living through some of the world’s greatest events, as iconic 20th-century dance pieces are reimagined on a miniature scale. Every movement is filmed in real time and projected onto a large screen. The performance combines live cinema, choreography, theatre, photography and visual art in a mesmerising dialogue between the intimate and the epic. Through the lens of the camera, the dancers revisit landmark moments in dance history: ballet, lindy hop, musicals, rock, contemporary dance and hip hop, along with nods to Pina Bausch and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. They stride across famous scenes from Broadway to Paris and from Brussels to Harlem.

As we follow their odyssey through the decades, the couple falls in love, argues, ignores and rebels against each other, plays, and above all dances together. In doing so, the work explores love, memory and the passage of life. Entirely wordless, the performance opens up the richness of choreographic expression to audiences of all ages, including those new to contemporary dance, and gives free rein to the imagination. Du Bout Des Doigts is a breathtaking celebration of dance, storytelling and cinematic imagination, told at the scale of a fingertip.
