Les Héritier⋅x (The heirs) is a trio performed by dancers Évo Mine Lambillon and Pierre Piton, and renaissance flutist and electronic musician Stélios Lazarou.

The performance observes Orchésographie, the first manual of dance and choreographic writing, produced by Thoinot Arbeau (1588). It presents the most complete corpus of dances practiced in the 16th century.

The performance seeks to revive the Renaissance ballroom by revealing what goes through these dances. They are interpreted beyond their codified script and human boundaries.

The piece takes as its starting point the need for the performer to find a new path towards the act of dancing and the issues of representation. Inspired by the villainous creatures of classical ballet, the piece seeks a poetics of impure and fantastic figures. Creatures lurking in an unfulfilled future.
