Alain Platel's Out Of Context is a provocative choreographic concept performed by the original cast of Les Ballets C de la B. With eight to nine dancers on stage, two microphones, and blankets creating a stark, intimate onstage setup, the piece blends Bach-inspired motifs with contemporary classical textures and a produced soundtrack. Sound design and electronic music by Sam Serruys elevate the atmosphere, inviting a humane, raw exploration of unconscious movement and emotion. This work is dedicated to Pina Bausch and has earned broad critical praise for its honesty and emotional depth.
