Une Fantôme-Danse
Création habitants 2017
From October 2016 to April 2017, over eight working weekends on the stage of Le Trident theatre in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, Alban Richard invited a group of 40 residents aged 17 to 74 to participate in the creation of a choreographic piece. This journey was an opportunity for everyone to participate in the development of a common project.
Une Fantôme-Danse is a choreographic piece inspired by the spirits, monsters or spectres that are summoned during rituals, shamanic dances or traditional celebrations marking the changing of the seasons, through which men attempt to influence the mysterious forces of nature, and to revive primitive feelings of fear and superstitious terror.
Dispelling evil spirits, dancing at a furious tempo, dancing the dead, performing frantic dances for one’s community, eradicating fear and stabilising the spirit, Une Fantôme-Danse revives dance as an archaic, sacred and ritual activity.
