Antipodes

After Kamuyot, taken over by Ohad Naharin in 2019 and Phoenix, created by our company in 2021, it seems important to open the mind and bodies of our dancers to new choreographic ways.

So I gathered 10 dancers from the company around 4 different proposals:

An extract from the play by Kader Attou, one of the major choreographers of the French hip-hop scene, revisited by the turbulent energy of Grenade.

A highly sophisticated, dynamic and brutal choreographic gem, created by Spanish choreographer Ivàn Pérez, which highlights a military training of young people trying to keep their humanity in an endless cycle of combat and death.

Ubuesque interventions by Claire Laureau and Nicolas Chaigneau bring an absurd and offbeat theatrical universe.

-SIAS A rhythmic proposal by Les Filles de Mnémosyne, a group led by Maxime Bordessoules and Rémy Rodriguez. A crazy fashion show developing towards a more internalized universe, and freely inspired by the symbols of the eponymous myth of Tirésias.

4 visions of today’s dance – 4 ways of thinking about movement, presence, space, rhythm and emotion – 4 ways of giving meaning to a choreographic work.
