Maison d'en Face at 13th Art: Léo Walk explores intimacy in motion with La Marche Bleue

After sold-out performances in Paris and on tour, Maison d'en Face returns to the 13th Art from October 8, 2025. Léo Walk and his company La Marche Bleue continue their choreographic exploration of everyday life and human relationships.

From October 8, 2025, 13th Art welcomes Léo Walk and his company La Marche Bleue for a new series of performances of Maison d'en Face. This choreographic show, which has already won over audiences at the Théâtre du Châtelet, La Salle Pleyel and on an extensive French-language tour, will return to a more intimate venue, conducive to the sensitivity of the subject matter. Through a set evoking an inhabited interior, the show would give substance to emotion at its most everyday.

In Maison d'en Face, the dancers evolve in an enclosed space, similar to a stylized dining room, where human relationships are built, intersect and sometimes collapse. Far from a linear narrative, the show would offer a series of tableaux in which gestures sketch out the tensions, silences and flashes of a shared life. Bodies speak of love, friendship, weariness, tenderness and breakdown. Somewhere between dreamlike stagecraft and choreographic naturalism, Léo Walk seeks to capture the poetry of details, the beauty of little things and the muted violence of ordinary gestures.

The show would appeal to audiences sensitive to contemporary forms, to fans of urban dance blended with contemporary aesthetics, and to those in search of an emotional and accessible artistic experience. Maison d'en Face could appeal as much to devotees of Léo Walk 's work as to the curious discovering narrative dance for the first time. On the other hand, those expecting an explicit narrative or a spectacular technical demonstration may be surprised by this approach focused on emotional subtlety.
