Marne van Opstal

As part of her "Body High" tour - FKA twigs brings her visionary spectacle to Paris for a genre-defying show. The performance served as a culmination of all that the artist has represented to culture over the last decade. It highlighted her mastery of WuShu, opera, visual arts, vogueing, pole-dancing, and her professional background in dance, while she performed songs from her GRAMMY-award-winning album 'EUSEXUA' and her lauded discography. A towering figure in modern music, FKA twigs is celebrated for her unique perspective and her total art approach – where sound, visuals, and performance merge into a single, immersive experience. The performance unfolds within a breathtaking scenography: video projections, theatrical vignettes, and choreography, all of which have earned praise from numerous publications, including The Guardian, which has described the tour as "an Olympian display of pop prowess.

Our body is the vessel with which we experience the physical world, and it houses our deepest instinctive parts. It’s where we feel pleasure and love, judge and destroy, bleed and smile, Since David and Venus, we’ve put the human body on the highest pedestal, shaping and perpetuating an unattainable beauty standard. Through this distorted lens of beauty, our natural form has been sexualized, demonized, and sometimes shamed into a taboo. Why is the naked body offensive? Does it hold a political charge? Are we not more than meets the eye?

To celebrate the tercentenary of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, five choreographers - Franck Chartier, Bobbi Jene Smith, Or Schraiber, Imre & Marne Van Opstal and Emilie Leriche - take inspiration from Max Richter's masterful recomposition of this great work.
