L'Ange
“In our collective imagination, angels are pure and good. This idea both attracts and annoys me. Like sticky paper. Like some fixed idea. […]It’s not a matter of portraying different angels or creating characters with a particular personality, but bringing all these aspects together into one being. All these things are part of us, whether we either see them vaguely or pay them a lot of attention. I wanted to get away from these conventions of representing angels and suggest others. How do you give a spiritual being a body, and what kind of body at that?I chose two “eye witness accounts”…That of St Thomas Aquinas, for whom angels cannot be represented in human form or they will become corruptible…And that of St Teresa of Avila who, during her ecstasy, describes for us her vision of an angel in a way that could not be more carnal…” Yan RaballandCreditsChorégraphe, interprète Yan Raballand assistante chorégraphique Evguénia Chtchelkova lumières Laurent Matignon costumes Dominique Fabrègue assistée d’Annabelle Locks scénographie Emily Cauwet son Francine Ferrer Production, diffusion Valérie Claisse coproduction CCN Ballet de Lorraine (accueil studio), Maison de la Danse résidence de créationà l’atheneum de Dijon avec le soutiend’Art Danse CDC Dijon Bourgogne et en collaboration avecArts Vivants 21, résidence à l’hostellerie de Pontempeyrat Remerciements au CND de Lyon, à la compagnie Beau geste La Cie Contrepoint bénéficie du soutien du Ministère de la culture – Drac Auvergne, du Conseil Régional d’Auvergne, et du Conseil Général du Puy de Dôme Réalisation vidéo Charles Picq date du document vidéo 2009 production Maison de la Danse
