Introduction
A white climbing wall. A high wire above the stage. A group composed of athletes and artists meet in mid-air, defying gravity and exploring the limits of the human body.
Selected by The New York Times as one of the best dance works of 2023, "Corps extremês," or "Extreme Bodies" in English, blends documentary material with delicate dreamlike qualities, athletic prowess, and daring. The ensemble includes a highliner, a rock climber, and acrobats.
In breathtaking scenes, they test their own physical strength and emotional boundaries. At times, the stage transforms into a huge screen, on which images are projected of magnificent natural landscapes – great vertigo – with the highliner and rock climber in action.
This visually stunning work does not succumb to the easy allure of virtuosity but instead illuminates human nature through the fear and tension revealed in extreme situations.
The performances are a part of Dance House Helsinki's major international guest performance series. The series presents a high-quality, ambitious programme of international guest performances, with the support of Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation.

Biographies
Rachid Ouramdane – choreography
At the age of twelve, Rachid Ouramdane discovered dance through hip-hop. He also took intensive courses in classical and modern dance. In the early 1990s, he dropped out of his studies in biology to devote himself fulltime to dance and joined the Centre national de danse contemporaine in Angers. As a performer and choreographer, he has worked with Meg Stuart, Odile Duboc, Hervé Robbe, Alain Buffard, Christian Rizzo, Julie Nioche and Emmanuelle Huynh. Rachid Ouramdane's creations are often marked by the seal of testi- mony and intimate experience (refugee children, victims of torture or natural disasters, amateur athletes, etc.) from which he weaves a structured choreography. Rachid Ouramdane collaborates with cir- cus artists, authors, visual artists, and musicians for his own creations as well as for commissioned works and workshops. With an ambitious project based on diversity and hospitality, he has been director of Chaillot - Théâtre national de la Danse in Paris since April 2021.
