TOYS (2017)
TOYS is the morning with a
hangover. It is the game, the
absolute, the disguise of tragedy
behind the constant of celebration.
It is the collapse of euphoria when
bodies bask, when souls become lost
and save one another. If “waiting
is the essential aspect of our human
condition” (“The Theatre of the
Absurd”, Martin Esslin), then does
forgetting become our salvation?
Are pleasures becoming tricks into
which we lose ourselves to forget the
waiting?
She also performed in music videos (The Kooks, Cash+David, Buridane
amongst others) and choreographed the video Don’t you find by
Jamie T. She directed and produced the dance-videos Sacre and
N87HP Priory Road, screened in Germany, England, Luxembourg,
India and France.
She is currently a collaborator on Mode and Motion, an online
publication exploring the synergy between dance and fashion.
Her work is without compromise, absurd and tragi-comic.

BIOGRAPHY
Choreographer & dancer
love me tender is a secret history of
two loving souls.
“The theatre of the Absurd and the aesthetic of dance-theatre
partly inspire my work, both choreographically and dramaturgically.
The starting point is often the human condition in its most bizarre
manifestations.
Pop culture is at the centre of the works , each piece attempts to
build bridges between performance and philosophy and to discover
how movement can emerge from other art forms, creating new
material for dance through a collaborative process”.
- Léa Tirabasso -
Léa Tirabasso’s work was described “Poignant; often very funny;
visually and aurally appealing” (Graham Watts), “definitely challenging
conformist views of what dance can or cannot include” (Peter
Lindley).
It unravels the hidden sides of their
minds and the depths of their bitter
and yet oh so sweet fantasies.
