The French dancer and video artist Thierry Micouin is a true multi-talented. Originally studying medicine, he now develops his talents as a dancer and video artist. His performance DOUBLE JACK follows the first two parts of his trilogy MEN AT WORK (2006) and GO SLOW (création 2010 – 11), which were initiated together with the W.H.O. and have already toured around the world.

Artistically, his choreographies are inspired by themes relevant to society. They have been awarded several cultural prizes. In Erfurt he presents the third part of his trilogy under the title “Double Jack”. An impressive dance performance.

On the set five electric guitars as an interactive sound installation, in which everything revolves around questions of male identity and common clichés… The dancers and their movements enter into dialogue with the “orchestra”, awaken and animate it, are leaders of an army of electric cables and musical loops – a brilliant performance that is unparalleled.
