Entre soie

ENTRE SOIE is a participatory project born from the meeting between the Charonne Association, which supports women with addictive behaviors, and Magda Kachouche, in charge of creative projects with amateurs within the Contour Progressif company. During a so-called “break-up” stay, the patients and caregivers of the CSAPA (Center for care, support and prevention in addiction) meet. Accompanied and guided by Magda Kachouche, they share a week’s time of artistic practice and protocols that are at the heart of the work of the Contour Progressif company. The first edition of the project, in 2017, was based on the choreographic protocols designed by Mylène Benoit for the show NOTRE DANSE (2014) and since shared with amateurs in several participatory creations “VOTRE DANSE”. 

ENTRE SOIE was based on the same questions: what dance would you take on a desert island? During the week, the women reflected together on the gestures and songs that brought them together, resembled them and represented them. They imagined their dances, that of their intimate ritornellos, their interior folklore: a language, a choral and sonorous dance, which comes from afar, as if drawn from a common background. This choreographic creation was nourished by the dances, songs, fictions and history of each of its participants and resulted in a documentary film directed by Charlotte El Moussaed and produced with the help of the DGCA. 

A second edition of the project will take place in April 2021.
