Inbal Ben Haim (France- Israel)
Poetic presentation of a creative process
By mixing circus, dance, theatre, improvisation and visual arts, Inbal Ben Haim creates her own poetics of expression. Based on the creation PLI, she offers, together with plastic artists Domitille Martin and Alexis Mérat, a guided tour of the landscapes that have inspired artistic and scientific research surrounding the circus and paper.

São Castro and António M Cabrita
choreographers of the Play False, cultural association
Last (extract) trio
For São Castro and António M Cabrita, the relationship between movement and music is essential. It is magnified, in this excerpt, by the interpretation offered by three dancers – to the music of the final String Quartets composed by Beethoven.

Three performers, three women, each embodying distinct cultures. A cellist is invited to share the stage with a flamenco dancer and a hip-hop dancer, to transform space, time and sound into a single poetic narration.

Have generations of metal corsets and false bottoms left their mark on contemporary bodies and imaginations? What can we discover about today’s bodies by revisiting these objects? Attitudes Habillées offers a journey into the history of clothing, and into the history of the body shapes that our clothing has drawn over time.

Combining spoken moments and danced solos, this portrait revives the memory of Isadora Duncan’s free dance, based on five of her emblematic choreographies. Through her great freedom of expression, the visionary American choreographer – privileging spontaneity and naturalness – offered the bases of modern dance, at the origin of contemporary dance.

A double billing allowing audiences to discover the universe of Salim Mzé Hamadi Moissi, as he opens up new horizons to hip-hop dance. Combining a virtuoso and imaginative hip-hop, revisiting traditional Comorian dances and music, Massiwa showcases a rather athletic, ardent, impetuous and always controlled masculine dance.

The masterpieces of the Ballets Russes have continued to inspire choreographers over the years. The music of Igor Stravinsky is no stranger to the success of these mythical ballets, nor to their abundant posterity. It has served as a tremendous stimulus, triggering new creative energies. Today, the Malandain Ballet Biarritz seizes this creative energy, by bringing together a new version of The Firebird by Thierry Malandain and The Rite of Spring by Martin Harriague, associate artist at CCN Malandain Ballet Biarritz, all in the same programme.

NOW demands an immediate and individual mobilisation to overcome the multiple crises we are experiencing today (climate, migration and resources). Sébastien Ly operates this radical change, by offering for the first time in his repertoire a frontal and muscular show, under pressure, in which a body caught in a vice gradually frees itself
in order to build a warlike body, ready for combat.

From Sambo to Forró, via salsa, zouk, swing and tango, Jomar Mesquita and his Mimulus company know all the ins and outs of so-called ‘ballroom’ Latin dancing. Dolores, conceived with a certain pop aesthetic and inspired by the film scores of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, is a piece filled with passion and desire.

Through repertoire pieces by Christophe Garcia, Jean-Christophe Maillot and Carolyn Carlson, students in their final year of training at the Pôle National Supérieur de Danse Rosella Hightower confront the current challenges of performing work by demonstrating both their technical and artistic qualities.

Performance from 14 :00 on PNSD Rosella Hightower (Mougins) – Free entrance
