Edouard Hue is first and foremost a dancer who uses his physicality to serve pure movement. As a dancer, he explores extremes in the works of choreographers Hofesh Shechter, Damien Jalet, and Olivier Dubois. Nourished by these contrasting experiences, Hue constantly seeks to push the boundaries of the body and movement, exploring extraordinary sensations. In 2019, he received the Swiss Dance Prize as an “Outstanding Dancer.”
In 2014, he founded the Beaver Dam Company, based in Geneva, Switzerland, with which he affirms his vision of dance as an ode to emotional release, transcended by demanding choreographic complexity. In 11 years with the company, he has created nine original works for solo, duo, trio, quintet, septet, and small ensemble, including the major pieces All I Need and Dive. His creations, recognized internationally, have garnered critical acclaim.
At the same time, Edouard Hue transmits his repertoire to renowned institutions around the world: ZhDK – Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (Switzerland), Greek National Opera Dance School (Greece), Dance Area Jeune Ballet (Switzerland), the Ecole de Danse Contemporaine de Montréal (Canada), the Ballet Junior de Genève (Switzerland), SEAD – Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (Austria), the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (France) and Le Marchepied (Switzerland), among others.
