Philippe Decouflé 'Sombrero' July 4, 2007

Philippe Decouflé’s wildly creative choreography has brought him widespread international acclaim. With diverse roots in mime, circus and dance, Decouflé has choreographed an astonishing range of work - from last year's Tricodex with Lyon Opera Ballet through to a circus production to mark the opening of the Winter Olympics and even an MTV award-winning music video.

"Decouflé is out to play games with your mind. Let the dreams begin"

Decouflé’s latest work Sombrero - in which the choreographer himself dances - sees him playing with images of light and shadow, with the intense heat of the sun employed as a central theme. Decouflé creates captivating and magical images using a blend of both old-fashioned theatricality and high-tech video trickery.

Sombrero is a funny, entertaining, moving and magical experience that looks set to be a real treat for Decouflé fans and newcomers alike.

"Decouflé is one of those artists for whom the word eclectic was invented. A theatrical magician par excellence"
