In Situ
Creation 2023
Performance 4 dancers
Choreography: Jann Gallois
Dancers: Juliette Bolzer, José Meireles, Serena Pedrotti, Erwan Tallonneau alias Bboy R-One
Music: Charles Amblard
Costumes: Jann Gallois
Regard complice : Frédéric Le Van & Laureline Richard
This show, offered to all, is presented in the public space of Cannes. In a generous and stimulating closeness with passers-by, rediscovering the joy of being together.
Thanks to their great originality and sensitivity, each of Jann Gallois’ pieces hit the mark – and this eleventh opus is no exception. This artist, introduced to hip-hop dance in the streets as a teenager, returned to the roots of her art after long months of isolation due to the pandemic. She has created In Situ as close as possible to her audience, in this public space where – long before the existence of dedicated venues – the first forms of representation were born. The goal? To bring a suspended moment that breaks the routine of everyday life to the people, where they are. The piece, designed to be visible to all, unfolds in interaction with its specific environment. Imposing one’s presence outside of the marked spaces of the theatre stage, creating the balance between place, movement and perception, however, must involve the usual components of creation. To the music of Charles Amblard, dancers invite us to reconnect with “being together”, while awakening a joy that burns within each of us.
Jann Gallois
Since her first solo P=mg in 2013, the winner of multiple awards, Jann Gallois has distinguished herself with a choreographic writing nourished by hip-hop, contemporary dance and a constant concern for innovation, in both her forms and in the themes addressed. With her company BurnOut, founded in 2012, she has choreographed a dozen pieces, including the recent releases Mandala (2021) and Imperfecto (2022). She is currently an associate artist at the Théâtre du Beauvaisis, Scène nationale de Beauvais, the Maison des arts de Créteil and L’Envolée – Pôle Régional Culturel du Val Briard.

MICHEL KELEMENIS
MAGNIFIQUES
Une éphémère éternité
Creation 2023
Performance for 9 dancers
Concept, choreography, set design: Michel Kelemenis
Dancers: Gaël Alamargot, Max Gomard, Claire Indaburu, Anthony La Rosa, Hannah Le Mesle, Marie Pastorelli, Anthony Roques, Mattéo Trutat, Valéria Vellei
Music: Jean-Sébastien Bach
Original music: Angelos Liaros Copola
Costumes : Camille Penager
Lighting design: Jean-Bastien Nehr
Realization scenography: Pierre Baudin & Cyril Casano
Space, sound and stage manager: Jean-Charles Lombard
Lights: Jean-Bastien Nehr
Technical light: Jade Rieusset
In close dialogue with a major work of the musical repertoire, with which he is intimately familiar, Michel Kelemenis pays a choral tribute to dance and dancers.
Once upon a time, the marvellous discovery of Johann Sebastian Bach’s immense Magnificat was a core moment in the young Michel Kelemenis’ upbringing. During the greyness of lockdowns, where his only happy moments were those spent in the company of dancers, the memory of this “breath of intense joy” came back to him. Then, the desire to superimpose these two moments of happiness was born, choreographing the German composer’s score for nine performers. MAGNIFIQUES is an ode to youth and an invitation to life. It is also a call to throw open our windows and welcome in another tomorrow. The attitudes and aesthetic transformations of a generation determined to free itself from all expectations, whether gender, identity or social, respond to the baroque audacity of a score enriched by the electro compositions of Angelos Liaros Copola, a figure of the Berlin scene. Alternating between solos and ensembles, the dancers become the artisans of an exhilarating collective mosaic. Their movements, like the notes, have all the grace of blossoming, as well as that of invention and self-reinvention. They open up the space, then fade away as soon as they are drawn, in an ephemeral eternity.
Michel Kelemenis
As a dancer, most notably at the Montpellier CCN with Dominique Bagouet, he founded his company Kelemenis&cie in 1987 and is, to date, the author of around 60 choreographies, between abstraction and figuration, often related to current themes. Based in Marseille, Michel Kelemenis has been directing the KLAP Maison pour la Danse since 2011. This creative space, driven by his initiative, works to support authors and companies, offer up an educational and artistic sharing, and foster cooperation and choreographic culture.

RECIRQUEL CIRQUE DANSE
Solus Amor
Creation 2020
Performance for 10 dancers
Writing, directing and choreography: Bence Vági
Music: Edina Szirtes
Lighting design: Attila Lenzsér, József Pető
Dance, circus and love: in blending these three ingredients, Hungarian company Recirquel composes a sumptuous aerial ballet with a universal language.
This company has popularised a new concept: that of the Dance Circus, at the junction of circus arts and choreographic language, whether classical or contemporary. Armed with this veritable door opener, the international and multi-talented artists of Recirquel have been developing shows that delight audiences around the world since 2014, under the direction of Bence Vági. The third instalment in a successful trilogy, Solus Amor, premièred in 2020 in Müpa Budapest, follows on from My Land – awarded best production in 2018 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and sold out at the Off d’Avignon – and Non Solus (2015), acclaimed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) in New York. Having explored man’s links with Mother Earth, from birth to death, this time, Vági summons up “ancestral energy to tell a story about faith and love, about the universe and nature”. Alongside the artists, a fantastic fake polar bear – brought to life by South African puppeteer Janni Younge – embodies an animal presence. Set largely in the air, Solus Amor features several series of breath-taking tricks, paired with purely lyrical dance sequences. The scenography, costumes, and music of Edina Mókus Szirtes create a multidimensional, timeless space, uniting the distant past and near future in the same momentum.
La compagnie Recirquel
Founded in 2012 in Budapest by director and choreographer Bence Vági, Recirquel has become one of the world’s leading contemporary circus companies. Its pioneering productions have raised awareness of this new art form among Hungarian and international audiences alike. Its style finds its origins in Hungarian classical theatre, as well as in the show created in 2017 by Bence Vági in Budapest for the closing ceremony of the 18th World Swimming Championship, mixing dance and circus around Hungary’s oldest legend.

In a timeless setting, five dancers and three musicians of excellence, nourished by flamenco and the avant-garde, transform dance into the instrument of their liberation. Exhilarating.
Can we really call these incredible episodes where people gathered and relentlessly shook their bodies, to the point of exhaustion and even to death, “dance”? This dance sickness or “choreomania”, which has occurred several times over the centuries in various parts of Europe, forms the starting point of David Coria’s new creation.
Inspired by the facts and legends surrounding this worrying event, “Los Bailes Robados” (The Stolen Dances, in Spanish) boldly explores the relationships between dance and freedom. Once again, the dancer and choreographer has surrounded himself with the best of the Andalusian scene: in addition to himself, Paula Comitre (alternating with Aitana Rousseau), Florencia Oz, Rafael Ramírez and Marta Galvez will be present, accompanied by the singer David Lagos, winner of the prestigious Lámpara Minera, the cellist Isidora O’Ryan and the guitarist Alfredo Lagos. Together, the make this “pas de deux con vida” an artistic object of both performance and exorcism, in both the hysteria of movement and in motionless force. “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution”, said Russian anarchist Emma Goldman. Perhaps these strange dancers only hoped to exorcise their chains. Or, quite simply, to express their joy.
David Coria
Sevillian dancer and choreographer David Coria has established himself in recent years as one of the leading figures of the new flamenco. Having danced for Antonio Gades, Rocío Molina, Eva Yerbabuena, Rafaela Carrasco and the National Ballet of Spain, he choreographed pieces for the Andalusia Flamenco Ballet and Rafaela Carrasco’s company. His creations, El Encuentro (2017), Anonimo (2019) and Fandango! (2020) have been crowned with many awards. In 2022, he created the duo Imperfecto alongside Jann Gallois at the Chaillot – National Theatre of Dance.

Duration: 25 minutes
A double bill? Yes, but above all, a dialogue: through interposed works, between a major figure of American post-modern dance and a contemporary French choreographer.
Throughout her life and career, Trisha Brown, who left us in 2017, maintained close ties with France and its culture. The world première of one of her flagship pieces, Glacial Decoy, in 1979 was even held in Provence during the Sainte-Baume Fêtes Musicales. With this programme, the company that bears her name and perpetuates her repertoire continues to nourish this privileged relationship. On the one hand, it presents a selection of the American’s repertoire, reflecting her incessant spirit of innovation; while, on the other hand, it has commissioned a creation from the modern French generation embodied by Noé Soulier. Alongside For MG: the Movie (1991), a radical return to the source of artistic movement, and Working title (1985), evoking children’s races to music by Peter Zummo, we will discover choreography by the director of the Angers National Centre for Contemporary Dance. Though he also questions movement, his approach is more about inorganic transitions, the space between intention and gesture, effort and contraction. Beyond their specific vocabularies, the two artists nevertheless share a secret filiation: that inscribed in the body of the performers of the Trisha Brown Dance Company, who maintain and transmit the sensitive memory of their heritage, while opening themselves up to new writings.
Trisha Brown
Born in 1936 in the United States, she was one of the founding members of the Judson Dance Theater, home of the New York choreographic avant-garde in the early 1960s. She founded the Trisha Brown Company in 1970 and first developed her research outside of the traditional spaces of representation, then later within the stages of theatres or operas. Until her death in 2017, she premiered nearly 90 works and received the 1994 American Dance Festival Award for Lifetime Achievement.
Noé Soulier
Born in Paris in 1987, Noé Soulier studied dance at the Paris CNSMD, at the National Ballet School of Canada and at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. In 2010, he was awarded first prize in the Danse Enlargie competition, organised by the Théâtre de la Ville and the Museum of Dance. His choreographic pieces explore movement in multiple devices, including the stage, the museum space, cinema and theoretical reflection. Since 2020, he has been director of the CNDC – Angers.

LARA BARSACQ
IDA don’t cry me love
Creation 2019
Performance for 3 dancers
A Lara Barsacq’s project
Creation and interpretation Lara Barsacq, Marta Capaccioli, Elisa Yvelin/ Marion Sage
Artistic advises: Gaël Santisteva
Set and costumes design: Sofie Durnez
Accessories assistant: Ben Berkmoes
Lighting design: Kurt Lefevre
Music: Nicolai Tcherepnin, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Snow Beard, Tim Coenen, Lara Barsacq, Gaël Santisteva
Better than a scholarly lecture, IDA’s trio of performers resurrects the colourful personality of dancer Ida Rubinstein, in the style of an intimate portrait.
Even before becoming the legendary performer of Les Ballets Russes and the muse of Serge de Diaghilev, Ida Rubenstein had already made her breakthrough entry on the choreographic scene in 1908: in Oscar Wilde’s famous Dance of the Seven Veils of Salomé, she stripped completely naked, brilliantly offering up the first contemporary feminist performance. A frontrunner defying all taboos – even in her love life – she was also an influential patron of Parisian life and the sponsor and dedicatee of Maurice Ravel’s Bolero, in which she performed. Lara Barsacq pays tribute to this emblematic figure of creative freedom in IDA. Beyond the outrageous artist, she testifies to the life of a woman who, for a long time, has been a vibrant source of inspiration for her. With love and humour, she narrates, dances, imitates and talks about her with Marta Capaccioli and Marion Sage, like a conversation between friends. Like her role model, she does not hesitate to unleash a provocative side, with the body undressed or covered in glue before a tapestry representing a cheetah, a nod to the baby feline that accompanied Ida everywhere she went. However, alongside her two accomplices, she also enjoys humming songs of their own, with simple and poetic lyrics – evoking the absent.
Lara Barsacq
Trained in contemporary dance at the CNSMD in Paris, she joined the Batsheva Dance Company between 1992 and 1996, before devoting herself to choreography until 2004. She then worked as a performer, notably for Jérôme Bel. Since 2018, the great-grandniece of costume designer Léon Bakst has created the solo Lost in Ballets russes (2018), the trio IDA don’t cry me love (2019), the quartet Fruit Tree (2021) and the piece for six performers La Grande Nymphe, premiered in May 2023 as part of the Kunstenfestivaldesarts. From 2020 to 2022, Lara Barsacq was an associate artist at Charleroi danse. From 2024 to 2028, Lara Barsacq will work in partnership with the Théâtre de Liège.

Two pieces, two universes. To the metaphysical call of the void responds the energy of the soil and the earth. A programme bursting with contrasts, performed by a high-flying company.
On the set, a platform tilted at 34 degrees rises diagonally towards the heights. Above, on their knees, crawling, sliding backwards or for brief moments standing, 17 dancers tirelessly persist in climbing the slope and avoiding a fall. Skid, premièred in 2017 at the Gothenburg Opera, puts bodies to the test of gravity. This piece, imagined by the visual artists Jim Hodges and Carlos Marques da Cruz, becomes the field of multiple physical experiments evoking a host of emotional states, from resistance to abandonment. In this unstable universe, physical contact with the other remains the best recourse against the call of the void, a beautiful metaphor for the human condition.
Conversely, Vïa, premièred in April 2023 by Fouad Boussouf, forcefully returns to the ground from which everything was born. A completely new setting for VÏA, where bodies evolve forcefully on the ground upon a set evoking both the sun-heated tarmac of urban dances and the African land of our origins.
For this piece, the choreographer has entrusted the artist Ugo Rondinone, with whom he collaborated in 2020 for a video-dance installation, with the creation of a flooring evoking both the sun-heated tarmac of urban dances and the African land of our origins. Supported by the electro-symphonic pulsations of Gabriel Majou, these 15 performers cross a series of organic metamorphoses through cycles of dance that link one after the other, right through to trance. Like a vital breath that never stops.
Damien Jalet,
Damien Jalet is an independent choreographer and dancer who moves from major international collaborations to more personal projects. His work, often collaborative, bears witness to the power of dance to constantly reinvent itself in dialogue with other disciplines such as the visual arts, music, film and fashion. He has worked for ballets C de la B, Sasha Waltz, Chunky Move, Eastman, NYDC, Hessisches Staatsballett, the Ballet de l’Opéra national de Paris, Scottish Dance Theatre, Iceland Dance Company, and others.

On screen, he collaborated with director Gilles Delmas to create The Ferryman in 2016, with the participation of Marina Abramović and Ryūichi Sakamoto, a film presented at the Venice Biennale in 2017. In 2018, he choreographed Luca Guadagnino’s remake Suspiria. The following year he choreographed Paul Thomas Anderson’s film Anima with Thom Yorke, who also composed the music; the work was nominated for a Grammy Award as “Best Musical Film” and won a UK Music Video Award for “Best Choreography”.
Most recently, he created Brise-lames (2020) for the Paris Opera Ballet with the visual artist JR, the pianist Koki Nakano and the dancer Aimilios Arapoglou; in collaboration with the artist Kohei Nawa, with whom he created VESSEL, he created the film Mist for NDT1 and then created Planet[wanderer] at Chaillot – Théâtre national de la Danse (2021); he created Kites (2022) for the GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.
He also collaborated on certain sequences for Madonna’s 2019-2020 theatrical tour, Madame X; he created the choreography for several songs on her 2023-2024 event tour, The Celebration Tour, for which he is also creative advisor.

Real or virtual? A social-science fiction or a dance show? Shaking up all our reference points, this captivating interactive proposal questions our relationship with nature and the living.
“Something is lost, you cannot see anything, you cannot hear anything …” announces Michèle Noiret. What is gone, is the insects. This artist imagines a future where most of these tiny but indispensable creatures have not survived our man-made environmental disruption. Only a few dedicated places, where memory and the collective unconscious may be summoned, offer the possibility of raising awareness of the world before among those who never knew it. And to hope, perhaps, that we may see it reborn one day … Around this dystopian plot, the choreographer deploys a scenic writing nourished by all the technological resources of dance cinema, an art of which she is a veritable master. Visual effects, lighting and futuristic music by Todor Todoroff transform the set into a science-fiction laboratory. Filming each other live with smartphones, the performers Sara Tan and David Drouard give themselves over to various sensory experiences. On screen, their videos alternate with those of excessively enlarged insects, whose movements and postures inspire a new carnal dialogue in these two representatives of our humanity. Like an invitation to change scale and reconsider an incredibly complex ecosystem, which must be preserved.
Michèle Noiret
Trained at Maurice Béjart’s Mudra school, she founded her company in Brussels in 1986. As the author of nearly 40 choreographies, she has introduced the interactive technologies of sound and image to her creations since the 90s and questions the chaos of the world through these multiple languages, as well as our perceptions of space and time. Her dance reveals an inventive writing supported by rigorous research, carried out by performers considered true “choreographic characters”.
