Clinamen... ou l’Art de (ne pas) gérer une carrière

A nod to contemporary dance and theatre in France from the 1970s up to today. Recorded ath the Centre national de la danse in Pantin 1st April 2014

Along an unpredictable path, discrete yet rich in encounters, with a nod to contemporary dance and theatre in France from the 1970s up to today, and for an archive exhibition at the Médiathèque of the Centre National de la Danse, on 1 April Lila Greene invites us for an evening full of surprises.

Photos, films, fantasies and farandoles recall the clashes that lead us to find the unexpected in unusual places and often at unreasonable hours, to discover the resonances of a visible invisible, for the simple pleasure of a change from the day-to-day.
