With Trouble, choreographer Laura Bachman, dancer Marion Barbeau, and actor Félix Kysyl explore the boundaries of touch and male-female relationships, between violence and emancipation. Trouble, Laura Bachman's first choreographic film, explores with great intensity all the paradoxes of physical contact. In this hybrid work inspired by the show Ne Me Touchez Pas, the body is not only an instrument of movement, but a battlefield, a space where domination, resistance, and then rebirth are played out. At the heart of this film is a duo formed by Marion Barbeau, prima ballerina at the Paris Opera and actress revealed by Cédric Klapisch's En Corps, and Félix Kysyl, actor nominated for a César Award in 2025 in the category of Best Male Newcomer for Miséricorde. These two protagonists give substance to a literally visceral performance, where skin, gazes, and breath invade everything.
