Highlights: Love Chapter 2
What's after love?
The answer is Love Chapter 2, a spellbinding creation by Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar (Cie Lev) that explores post-love torments set to Ori Litchik's razor-sharp techno music. Taking to the stage at the Théâtre du Rond-Point, the artistic duo, combining dance and music, develop a frenetic set with ultra-sharp choreography, fuelled by the energy of club and house music.
This piece follows on from OCD Love and plunges into the post-love phase, after the emotional boundaries between lovers have collapsed. The dancers express the drive of unfulfilled desire, creating a syncopated and feverish dance, evoked by lack of exhaustion. Love Chapter 2 transcends the emotion of lost love and explores the energies that persist after disillusionment.
Story: Love Chapter 2
On the stage of Théâtre du Rond-Point, the dance sequences of Love Chapter 2 reveals precise movements and a jarring rhythm, evoking a contemporary trance saturated with sensuality. The performers let themselves be carried away by an avid desire, in a nervous, syncopated and feverish dance.
Love Chapter 2 is a powerful, captivating and mesmerising performance, exploring the continuity of love, loss and the relentlessness of desire… all this through a dance that indefinitely becomes a passionate cry.

Théâtre du Rond-Point
If you ever want to feel the pulse of the French theatre scene, the Théâtre du Rond-Point is the place to be! But which roundabout or "rond-point" is it exactly? It's one of the most famous roundabouts in Paris, located near the Champs-Elysées, smaller than the famous Etoile roundabout under the Arc de Triomphe. Since 1981, it has attracted a host of directors from all over the world and a host of people with a passion for theatre. A major venue for contemporary creation since 1991, the Rond-Point does not programme "what people like, but what they don't yet know they’ll like", according to Jean-Michel Ribes, the theatre's current director. A real creative programme focused on living authors creating stories in real-time!
