English

Simon Le Borgne is a dancer with the Paris Opera Ballet. Since 2017 he has played the role of the connecting thread in the piece Play by Alexander Eckman. As the atmosphere on stage becomes charged with a childish playfulness, the diverse range of his work as a performer is called upon: whether feigning spontaneity or allowing himself to be caught unawares by the choreographer’s plan, he continually improvises to reveal the play of the dancer.


Français

Simon Le Borgne est danseur du Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris. Depuis 2017, il est le fil conducteur de la pièce Play d’Alexander Ekman. Alors que la scène se charge d’une atmosphère enfantine et ludique, il évoque la diversité de son travail d’interprète : qu’il s’agisse de feindre la spontanéité ou de se laisser surprendre par les consignes du chorégraphe, il improvise sans cesse pour révéler le jeu du danseur.
