About Fu LE
Fu LE is a filmmaker and choreographer, director of the Tetrapode dance company in France. Graduated in sculpture at the Art Crafts National School in Paris, he then trained in physical theater and in contemporary dance in Argentina, Belgium and Switzerland. He then pursued his research in Taiwan, questioning social issues linked with urbanization.
Fu Le produced a dozen dance films awarded worldwide. He founded in 2020 the Tetralab – international screendance laboratory, and he is now associated artist in residency at La Maison de la Danse – Istres.
Evolving on the edge between dance and video, he brings visual arts to the intimacy of bodily sensations. His cinematographic approach is based on the single-shot practice, and how to manage the choreography of the camera itself.
