In 2008, as part of the company’s residency at the Manège in Reims, Herman Diephuis conceived a project entitled Hors pair, with 27 amateurs and based on the image of the couple, drawing inspiration from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and using extracts from Prokofiev’s composition of the same name. Hors pair was reworked at the Théâtre de Vanves in 2009, as part of the Artdanthé Festival.
