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.

History and Fun Facts about 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 like", according to Jean-Michel Ribes, the theatre's former director. Since 2023, Laurence de Magalhaes and Stéphane Ricordel have taken over the reins of this theatre, which is still rooted in contemporary creation and focuses on living authors.
