Director: Jean Noel Roy, 1999

First London screenings for this fascinating hommage to Jacques Lecoq, who died in January 1999 and whose ideas and teachings made him one of the most influential theatre figures of recent times. Jean-Noel Roy's two forty-five minute documentary films (to be shown in one session) show Lecoq at work with students at his Paris theatre school, and include interviews with many, now well-known, former pupils. Jacques Lecoq performed his brilliant lecture-demonstration Tout Bouge at the Institut Français as part of the 1982 Mime Festival. We are proud to present Les Deux Voyages de Jacques Lecoq in tribute to his memory

A devilishly good show; sexy confident and with a strong emotional hit
as it marries circus skills to drama, to stupendous effect.
THE GUARDIAN

The seven deadly sins are given rein in turn, with lust climbing the heights in a cunning and slithery trapeze act,
where the bare-chested pair entwine in quite amazing lovers' knots.
