Oh Boy!
Oh Boy! is a choreographic piece conceived and imagined by Antonin Rioche as a human drama, as modern as it is timeless. The only protagonist, the dancer Benjamin Behrends, is engaged in an intense and poetic experience about loneliness. The film is the result of an adaptation and collaboration with Hadi Moussally from h7o7, that reveals an intimate romance and reality about the loneliness, that we all know about.

Loneliness. For some of you, the word may not be very familiar, but the feeling, though, you know it quite well
Synopsis (FR) :
Solitude. Pour certains d’entre vous, le mot peut ne pas être très familier, mais le sentiment, lui, vous le connaissez très bien.
