Compagnie les mains les pieds et la tête aussi
A touching and tender complicity celebrates what the body and movement can do and explores the limits of what is possible. This is Ali, a flight beyond all anxiety. On stage the grace of Hedi Thabet, a Belgian-Tunisian juggler, and the strength of Mathurin Bolze, an extraordinary contemporary circus artist as well as a dancer with François Verret, the discovery of a new approach to action through this reflection about “limits”. Un’affettuosa e tenera complicità celebra le capacità del corpo e del movimento, esplorando i limiti del possibile. Questo è Ali, per volare oltre qualunque angoscia. In scena la grazia di Hedi Thabet, giocoliere belga-tunisino, e la forza di Mathurin Bolze, straordinario interprete di circo contemporaneo, ma anche danzatore con François Verret, che trova in questa riflessione sul “limite” una rinnovata prospettiva di azione.

Sur la route…is a starting point for reflection and for re-inventing new and original scenic language, starting from a physical handicap. “How can I continue to live – writes Antoine Rigot – I, a “physical” artist in a wounded body? Where do I belong? I know I belong somewhere. I do not wish to exhibit my wounded body, I want it to dance. I want to give it new life and new beauty. I want to invent the strange language of my new body. I have driven my limits further finding energy and an ability to communicate I lacked before”. Sur la route…. is a dialogue between the bodies of a wounded man and a tightrope artist, in a quest for the choreography of equilibrium.

CINÉMATIQUE

creation, computer work and interpretation Adrien Mondot
dance Satchie Noro
Compagnie Adrien M
Dance, cinema, optical illusions are but a few of the extraordinary elements that make up one of the most surprising works of these recent years, a joyful onomatopoiea, an invitation to a mirage and to play. Childhood dreams suddenly surface putting the rationality that guides our modern lives to a harsh test. First discovered at JTC 2004, Adrien Mondot, a computer engineer – juggler, creates shows that link the arts of the stage and of vision.

LA STRATÉGIE DE L’ÉCHEC

Fonderie Limone Moncalieri – Small hall – 29 – 30 October 2011 | 10.00 pm
choreography Nabil Hemaïzia and Mathieu Desseigne
dancers Nabil Hemaïzia and Mathieu Desseigne
Collectif 2 Temps 3 Mouvements
With the support of DRAC and the région PACA, Département du Vaucluse
Co-production with Initiatives d’Artistes en Danses Urbaines – Fondation de France –
Parc de la Villette with the support of Caisse des Dépôts et l’Acsé
A show with great energy, a production that starts from the roots of movement to achieve a physical control bordering on virtuosity. As Gwenola David writes in Danser “two men cross, touch, attempt to flee… Nabile’s hip hop is at times a challenge, at times dialectic, releasing its rebellion through a frantic salvo or by seeking sympathetic support. With La Stratégie de l’échec the Collectif 2 Temps, 3 Mouvements unveils the intimate other side of society’s failures, signing a pièce with the force of a constructive, committed raised fist. Founded in 2006, the Collectif 2 Temps, 3 Mouvements engages in the energy of hip hop dance and contemporary circus language. Mathieu Desseigne is a stable member of Alain Platel’s C de la B ballet company.
