Antonin Rioche
Ohgirl!

Five years after Ohboy! Antonin is now presenting its feminine counterpart: Ohgirl!

What happens when the curtain falls, the spotlight goes out, the camera stops, and the apartment door closes behind us?

Ohgirl! is a journey, an intimate outtake on the essence of anxiety, questioning the weight that we sometimes carry on our shoulders. An experience that reminds you of all the times you felt not enough.

Antonin sees the stage as a canvas in which the dancer evolves closely, witnessed by the observer’s eyes. We follow her thinking process and inhabit her dreams but also feel the daily life’s pressure that nails her to the ground, struggling to move forward. She feels trapped, she is trapped, looking for an escape, a way to navigate and ride the waves of emotion inside her. 

Ohgirl! is danced by Adi Amit, dancer with Conny Janssen Danst and nominated for a Swan most impressive dance performance in 2019.
