Érection. A man, lying on the stage, struggles to stand up on his feet in the course of 45 long, loaded with suspense minutes. The story of human evolution, directed by Aurélien Bory and danced by Pierre Rigal – two of the great conceptual artists in contemporary French dance. Between an Odyssey, a philosophical tale and science fiction, Érection follows the long journey from the animal-man to the social man through all its twists and turns, trials and errors. On stage, together with Rigal, dance the light (with a surprising and radical use of saturated color), and sound- and video effects produced in real time.

Aurélien Bory is founder, artistic director and choreographer of the phenomenal CIE 111 dance company (see Sofia Dance Week 2008) and a pioneering figure in contemporary French circus. After studying physics, architectural acoustics, and cinema, he completed his training with Mladen Materic of Théâtre Tattoo, where he studied acting and juggling. When Bory gathered the troupe of CIE 111 he had one project in his head (Trilogy of Space, inspired by basic geometry concepts) and a master plan to mix contemporary art, cinema, music, painting and technology in a unique and never-tried-before manner until the boundaries between them are completely lost. And that is the artistic language of CIE 111 – the gestures of modern urban life, kinethics, optical illusions, juggling, acrobatics, dance, theater, weird scenography, all sprinkled with a fine sense of humor.

Pierre Rigal and Aurélien Bory were friends long before they became colleagues. Their collaboration started when Bory invited Rigal to produce a video installation for one of his shows (Plan B). It was much later that Rigal turned to contemporary dance (after receiving degrees in mathematics, economics and cinema, and competing as an international 400-meters hurdles runner) and they naturally got involved in each other’s projects. Bory and Rigal created Érection in 2003 in a small studio in the National Theater of Toulouse and predicted it would be a total success for an audience of “two or three geeks interested in minimalism”. Six years later they have performed it 120 times all over the planet; no signs of interest fading away.

    Man boobs is often a very difficult subject for the majority of adult men to cope with. Getting cosmetic plastic surgery is usually preformed upon females and that can be looked at like a procedure for the ladies. That is why amongst others like scaring and also anesthesia I am reluctant to undergo with surgery to lessen my personal breasts. However I don’t know if I ought to trust internet companies either as I haven’t performed this previously. Is it safe to obtain merchandise such as Gynexin on the internet ? I have been previously researching an internet site that seems genuine but I’d really like other sorts of thoughts
