Edouard Hue
Outstanding male Dancer 2019
Edouard Hue was born in 1991 and began his dance training at the Conservatoire Régional d’Annecy before joining the Ballet Junior de Genève. He has danced with, among others, the Hofesh Shechter Company – the London-based Israeli is considered one of the most exciting choreographers working today –, Olivier Dubois in France and, in Geneva, Foofwa d’imobilité, Alias Compagnie and Jozsef Trefeli. As a result, Geneva has become his artistic home. It was there that, in 2014, he set up his own Beaver Dam Company and created his first duet, “Murky Depths”, which soon received numerous awards and has been performed internationally. In addition to its base in Geneva the company has, since 2017, had a three-year artistic residence at the Auditorium Seynoud – Scène Régionale in Annecy. Edouard Hue is more than just a dancer and choreographer: he is also a passionate teacher who gives workshops in Switzerland, France, Greece, Japan...
2017 saw the creation of “Meet me Halfway”, with support from Pro Helvetia as part of a mentoring programme with Olivier Dubois, which attracted attention on international dance platforms. Hue’s solo “Forward” was created in 2018 as part of the “Dance & Dramaturgy” project initiated by Philippe Saire at the Théâtre Sévelin 36, which was produced in conjunction with the Dampfzentrale Bern, the Tanzhaus Zürich, the Théâtre de l’Usine in Geneva and the Roxy in Birsfelden. That same year he devised “Into Outside” for the school of contemporary dance in Montreal. At the Avignon Festival in 2019 he presented both works as part of the OFF festival, earning high praise for his dynamic dance style.
