Beaver Dam Company

Edouard Hue is above all a dancer who puts his physicality at the service of pure movement. As a dancer, he explores extremes with choreographers Hofesh Shechter, Damien Jalet and Olivier Dubois. Nourished by these contrasting experiences, Hue constantly seeks to push the limits of the body and movement, exploring extraordinary sensations. In 2019, he received the Swiss Dance Prize as an “Exceptional 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 in solo, duo, trio, quintet, septet and nonet, including the major pieces All I Need and Dive. His creations, recognized on the international scene, are acclaimed by critics.

Edouard Hue also creates choreographic commissions for prestigious companies: in 2018, he composed the “Domine Jesu” section for Requiem by Yoann Bourgeois, remounted Into Outside in 2019 for the Frontier Danceland Company (Singapore), created No Matter in 2020 for the Gauthier Dance Company (Stuttgart), Titan in 2022 for the Ballet Basel, and The Firebird in 2023 for the Ballet of the Grand-Avignon Opera. In July 2024, Angelin Preljocaj and Laurent Hilaire invite him to create Skinny Hearts for the Bayerisches Staatsballett (Munich). In 2026, he will continue his work with the Geneva Chamber Orchestra and the Ballet of the Grand Théâtre de Genève for the Electrofaunes event (Geneva) and he will create a new piece for the Scottish Dance Theater (Dundee). He will revisit Natural Histories by Maurice Ravel for the Ballet du Rhin (Mulhouse) in 2027.

Concurrently, Edouard Hue transmits his repertoire to renowned institutions around the world: ZHdK – Zurich University of the Arts (Switzerland), Greek National Opera Dance School (Greece), Dance Area Jeune Ballet (Switzerland), the School of Contemporary Dance of Montreal (Canada), the Ballet Junior de Genève (Switzerland), SEAD – Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (Austria), the National Superior Conservatory of Music and Dance of Paris (France) and Le Marchepied (Switzerland), among others.
