WANG RAMIREZ

The latest creation by the company made up of Honji Wang and Sebastien Ramirez, EVERYNESS, speaks of the relationships between lovers and people who would like to be in love, with changes of partner and other emotional rollercoasters. In each scene, the five characters express their differences in energy, style and morphology. The creators are inspired by everyday life, conflict and attraction in a beautiful combination of energy and tenderness. A sixth character is the white orb, by artist Constance Guisset, that undergoes transformations according to the emotions that emerge on stage.

Winner of numerous prizes and with major international projection (Madonna requested the company’s involvement in her 2015/2016 world tour), the Wang Ramirez dance company is formed by Honji Wang (German with Korean roots) and Sébastien Ramirez (French B-boy with Catalan roots). These cultural origins have given rise to a dance company that develops research into and the co-existence of different choreographic and artistic languages. Definitions? Technical virtuosity, poetry, humour and questioning of human identities.
