Une scène rouge

As a tribute to the choreographer, I wanted to show the audience a new version of the Scène Rouge. In this short and funny sequence, inspired by corrida, three dancers try to grab a fourth lively dancer, but this one is too quick and keeps on slipping away from them. 

Created in 1980 for the opening of the Centre Choreographique Regional de Montpellier, this show gathered four exceptional artists together : Dominique Bagouet, Bernard Glandier, Bernardo Montet and Monet Robier. 

Une scene rouge is a recreation, not a copy of the original version, where little things have evolved. One can notice changes of musical arrangements, of small « insignificant » movements, of the speed of motion, of the relationship with the music and of the dancing energy.
