BK Compagnie develops performances focused on body installation, exploring different ways to connect body work tomedia art and other styles of performance. The concepts are always based on the body and its structure, energy, motioncapability, like a landscape to explore where emotion rises from. One of the main principle which sustains each creation is the idea of emptiness and pure matter.The spectator is considered as an alter-ego who is not only facing a performance but should experience his own inner movement.
