Charles Brecard presents solo at Tunis’s 4ème Art

French choreographer Charles Brecard is due to present his solo ‘Il pleut, il plaint, il rage’ at the 4ème Art in Tunis as part of the Jaou Tunis biennale. The piece won the best choreography prize at the Internationales Solo Tanz Theater Stuttgart festival in 2023.

Choreographer and performer Charles Brecard will present his solo ‘Il pleut, il plaint, il rage’ at the 4ème Art in Tunis on Monday 26 October at 7pm, as part of the Jaou Tunis biennale, Kapitalis reports.

The piece, conceived as an intimate journey and an outlet in the face of the absurdities of the modern world, won the first prize for best choreography at the Internationales Solo Tanz Theater festival in Stuttgart in 2023. The project subsequently benefited from two creative residencies in Italy, with the Dance Arts Faculty and Equilibrio Dynamico companies, where Brecard refined his movement vocabulary.
