Discours final from Killing Time by Grégoire Manhes

"Three iddle rich meet regularly to play cards.
One evening, bored, they realize that playing had lost its attraction. Winning was not exciting enough. They decide to "spice up" their game and by changing the rules :

​The loser of the next game would pay with his life"

​Created in tribute to Hitchcockian film, this atypical project is a suspenseful behind-close-door thriller that looks nothing else. With a simple but fearsome plot, Grégoire Manhes immerses the spectator in the heart of a real descent into hell.

Proposing a new way of telling a story, this choreographic piece and medium-length film combines Dance, Music and Cinema in a completely innovative way. Devoid of dialogue, the narration of "Killing Time" passes through the movement, the sound and the musicality of the editing. The atypical gestures of the choreographer associated with the camera and to the sharp musicality of the performers make this film a singular artwork.

Choreographer / Dancer, Composer / Musician or more recently Movie Director, Grégoire Manhes is above all passionate about creation.

He studied at the CNSMDL of Lyon as a dancer, and began to compose at the same time. He early decide to associate his musical and choreogrpahic works to compose the soundtrack of his pieces.

He's also the co-founder of the Duck-Billed Company 🦆
