Based on a book of photographs retracing Merce Cunningham’s extraordinary career, Boris Charmatz’s new project recreates some of the moves invented by the Master. As if flipping through some 150 creations, the French choreographer shows that he conceives of heritage above all as a living material.

Mohamed El Khatib La vie secrète des vieux
Mohamed El Khatib furthers his passion for documentary theatre by tackling a subject that he brings from out of the shadows, namely that of eroticism and the love lives of “oldies”. Put together in a daring yet tender way, his new piece explores this theme from the perspective of desire, thereby going against the usual connotations associated with old age.
Jérôme Combier, Alberto Posadas, Salvatore Sciarrino
The music of Jérôme Combier opens up the way we listen to the details of the world and their subtle mutations. Poetic, and punctuated by mysterious outbursts, his music celebrates a plasticity which in turn shapes its instrumental and electronic elements. Strands, his latest work, sets up relationships between the animal and plant worlds, weaving spider's web-like threads between.
