With "Sacres Francais!", you will discover the latest trends. These unique artists, who hit the headlines through the sheer audacity and originality of their creations, will astonish you with their style and statement.

"Press" exposes the life of modern man in his immense ordinariness and at the same time, in his enigmatic complexity. The body of this individual-product, worrisome dandy, is driven by a standardized linking of his own automatisms, but also by the wheels of his own narrow vital space. Perhaps with consent, he finds himself held captive in a room almost entirely empty. The mechanical modifications of this physical and mental environment act upon his body, forcing him to adapt endlessly his position and his movement. He is thus led into an absurd and anguished impasse. The renowned daily Le Monde has described this performance "a small jewel of intelligence and philosophy in action" while the English news papers The Guardian and Time Out have awarded it 4 and 5 stars!

Pierre Rigal is 35 years of age. Former athlete of the 400m hurdles, he holds a degree in mathematical economics and cinema. While a student, he met choreographers like Heddy Maalem, Bernardo Montet, Wim Vandekeybus. In 2002, he joined the company of Gilles Jobin to create several choreographies. At the same time, he worked as a video and documentary director for television and set video installations for the Cie 111 ("Plan B" well-received in "La Fete" 2006). In November 2003, he set up the Derniere Minute Company, designed and interpreted his first play, the solo "erection", co-directed for the stage with Aurelien Bory (Cie 111). In October 2006, still working with Aurelien Bory, he gave his second performance "Arrets de jeu" at the Theatre National in Toulouse. In February 2008, he performed "Press" at the Gate Theatre in London, and then presented it during the Dance Biennial in Lyon. A real hit!
