The group 

Diagonale(s) (Rouen, Normandie) 

Based in Rouen, the group Diagonale(s) is made up of people of different ages and levels, united by the same desire to discover contemporary dance. Based on research projects in workshops conducted by Marie-Aude Babault and selected guest choreographers, the group participates each year in the creation of a choreography, most often presented during local events such as the Fête de la Musique or in festivals (“Poésie danse la rue”, “La danse dans tous les sens”). 

The projet 

Designed for the public space, “La Collection” is a series of short choreographic pieces that seek to reveal the emotional states that roam through the city. To proceed with the visual, tactile and audible transposition of these urban moods, Nathalie Pernette designed a sensory path in various places, reflecting embarrassment, desire, anger, joy, fear, or sadness. Struck by the energy given out by these in situ events, the members of the group Diagonale(s) addressed the expressiveness of “La Colère”,  interpreted for the occasion by twelve dancers.
