Théâtre des 2 points : Alexis, Ample Man Danse - Spectacle de danse
The Théâtre des 2 Points at the MJC in Rodez presents a dance performance
A choreographic epic centered on the famous Trotteur, the legend who ran faster than horses, ships, and trains.
Follow the five performers in a dynamic and, at times, horse-like dance inspired by the personality, passion, and madness of Alexis Lapointe, known as “the horse-man.”
Marginalized and disparaged by the “esteemed theater circles” that could not accept his eccentricity, this figure from Quebec folklore—with his extraordinary physical abilities—became, for the societysociety of the time, a sideshow attraction adored for his feats and applauded by all with curiosity and admiration. How would Alexis, this “eternal adolescent” who dared to celebrate his difference, be received today?
