Compagnie la Méthode
La Méthode is founded in 2022 in Neuchâtel by Adamantia Papakyriaki and Maxime Jeannerat.
This contemporary dance company follows an artistic vision that stages performances characterized by a great physical requirement, where movement is only a medium to express peculiar narratives. Virtuosity yes, but for what purpose?
It is about putting the human being in a context, often confronting, which requires a questioning of its condition and bringing it towards an authentic, raw and pure quality. It is about removing the artifices, annihilating the superficial.
The strength of simplicity and the weight of intentions are aspects dear to the creative process of La Méthode.
