A Choreographic Reflection on State Violence in Chile

© Gianmarco Bresadola

Eight bodies move in mysterious convulsions. They walk, exercise, and
celebrate. But what do their movements represent: suffering or joy? Pride or fear?

Together, they form a security force, a mechanical and turbulent
organization made up of highly disciplined bodies trained to inflict
violence upon themselves and others. Maintain order! Such is the
imperative. In a kind of abstract museum space, security forces, their
victims, and fantastical horror characters come together in a ritual of
confession, atonement, and lamentation.

Inspired by the social explosion that took to the streets of Santiago, Chile, on October 18, 2019, La Re-sentida presents a work on how violence and indignation inhabit and invade the body. Oasis de la Impunidad invites us to question all democracies that are currently reassessing their history.

Dance, Eat and Unite!

© Paul Bourdrel

Beytna is a unique dance performance around the concept of sharing, where four choreographers and four musicians from Lebanon, Korea, Palestine, Belgium, and Togo come together over a banquet of food. Despite their diverse cultural backgrounds and artistic experiences, they reshape a communal and traditional family reunion into an artistic meeting of dance, music, and cooking.

Witness as they talk, drink, laugh, dance, and eat, transforming this simple gathering into an intricate, captivating performance. Beytna invites you into a world of compassion, and friendship. It is a simple invitation into the home of the other. An invitation to the artist’s profession and choreographic statement, as much as it is to the forms and situations of the past.

A Love Story of
New Year’s Eve

© Rosellina Garbo

An old lady rummages through a trunk. She takes out a bottle of pills, a wedding veil, a remote control, lots of colored balloons… From another trunk comes the music of a music box. An old man appears. He is wearing an old, worn-out formal suit. The man looks at the woman and smiles. He immediately reaches her. He hugs her. The woman rests her head on his shoulder. He caresses her. She holds him tight so as not to lose her balance. He supports her. They dance. He takes a pocket watch out of his pocket: minus five… minus four… minus three… minus two… minus one… and at the stroke of midnight he sets off a firecracker. They kiss. He throws a handful of confetti into the air. The party begins. Happy New Year, my love! He and she are now sixteen. In bathing suits they promise each other eternal love. To the tune of old songs they celebrate the arrival of the new year by dancing their love story backwards. 

Il tango delle capinere is the deepening of a study, Ballarini, which belonged to la trilogia degli occhiali. It is the composition of a mosaic of memories that makes bearable the loneliness of those who unfortunately outlive the other.

An Unpredictable Performance from Greece

@ Pinelopi Gerasimou

Following the success of RELIC (2015), TITANS (2017), and ELENIT (2019) — which continue to tour globally — Euripides Laskaridis now presents his latest work, LAPIS LAZULI. Inspired by the mesmerizing blue semi-precious stone known for its unpredictable behavior under pressure, Laskaridis crafts an enigmatic world filled with intriguing dualities. The stone’s name, often interpreted as the “Stone from Heaven”, reflects both earthly and celestial origins, sparking Laskaridis’ exploration of contrasts on stage. Paying tribute to the rich diversity of theatrical genres — from amateur to commercial, horror to musical, ancient Greek drama to Kabuki, and beyond — LAPIS LAZULI also celebrates the complexity of the performing arts.

Part of the 78th Avignon Festival


© Christophe Raynaud de Lage

An opus even more choreographic than the previous works, Qui som? , under the influence of the Spanish group Mal Pelo, could be considered the heir to Maguy Marin’s May B or Paso Doble by the duo Josef Nadj and Miquel Barceló.

Philippe Noisette

The first part of a triptych in which ceramic is both the material and the gesture of an investigation into our worlds in the making, a journey through our ways of believing and doing together, Qui som? is a wager: that dreaming is an exploratory and transformative power, an imaginary force that overflows each of us to link us to other presences, a way of orienting ourselves in obscure journeys, in secret lands. It’s a struggle. It’s alive. In colour. In clay. In plastic. In scraps and eternity.

“Our inner worlds, our intimate territories, are the breeding ground for the social landscapes to come. So if what’s to come is already here, inside our bodies, if it’s already being made inside us, we’re trying to highlight what keeps the joy, the desire, what resists, sings and dances inside us forever, to give ourselves the courage to see ourselves and not forget the worst.”
