Le Chêne et le roseau

Le Chêne et le Roseau,ou la confrontation entre deux conceptions distinctes de la danse, mais si liées.

This fable, more than five centuries old, could very well have been written  today, because it responds to a reality of today’s culture.
The Oak and the Reed, or the confrontation between two distinct conceptions of dance, but so related.
On  one side Oak, emblem of nature by its robustness and inflexibility in  the face of the elements, and on the other side, the Reed with his flexibility,  which undergoes the elements but never yields.
I  chose this fable, because it illustrates my career as a dancer  resulting from an emerging choreographic movement, malleable, facing an  installed system, rigid.
