A tender, breathtaking pas de deux for a male dancer and mechanical digger.
Compagnie Beau Geste was founded in 1981 by seven dancers,
with each member working alternately as choreographer or performer.

“By creating this duo, I wanted to relive those childhood moments
where proportions take on another dimension, and where the street
becomes a playground [...] The excavator suggests an image of a human arm - taking, repulsing and cajoling […] The bucket, whose function is to scratch, carry and discharge, becomes, by poetic licence, a hand which removes, raises and protects.”
