Having been trained at "The Ins*tute del Teatre" of Barcelona, having worked in Spain for the greatest contemporary choreographers like Pina Bausch, Jesús Hidalgo created in 1991 in France, his own dance company, AlleRetour.
Combining abstrac*on and narra*on, his ar*s*c approach is based on two pillars : energy and cross the arts. "Alone" is thus a reflec*on on loneliness, the struggle between percep*on and look, our des*ny.
