June 2022 – Apologie de la douceur, by Florentin Poulain
Creation
Inspired by Baudelaire’s poem Femmes damnées, Florentin Poulain presents his Apologie de la douceur, a piece that brings together a choir of 16 dancer-performers from the JBuS. An exhilarating adventure on a human level, and to be discovered on a choreographic level!
“Apologie de la douceur questions in a contradictory way the hidden or revealed, individual or collective violence…”, says Florentin Poulain. At once intimate and outward-looking, tinged with a dull anxiety about the state of the world and driven by an irrepressible vital impulse, the piece thus reveals the energies exacerbated within the collective, bringing out, for the space of an instant, gentleness… for a need for eternity.
June 2022 – Number 9, by L. Ancel, L. Boni, A. Chabrier and N. Compagnon
Short film
An aesthetic project, hybridizing the expressive faculties of the moving image and the dancing body, Number 9 depicts a materialization in tangible form of emotion and feeling, and with the aim of making the invisible appear.
June 2022 – Aïon, JBuS & The Pygmalions
Collaborative creation
Associated partners, the JBUS and the Pygmalions are taking over the PoKoP this season to present AÏon, a collective creation by Nathalie Boudet, 12 dancers from the JBUS and the Pygmalions’ artistic team: a choreographic chronicle with variable geometry, not to be missed!
According to the playwright Dina Khazai, “the irreversible and constant passage of time reminds us of the approach of the end and arouses fear; but where fear nestles, the marvellous also emerges. Aiôn thus probes the subjective experience of the limited, shortened or dilated, and constantly manipulated duration of human life. Through the use of superimposed temporalities and graphics, this two-headed creation ( JBUS/The Pygmalions) opens up another world, a hybrid universe in continuous mutation, where a question floats: isn’t it precisely this dream of the future that neither exile, nor isolation, nor misery, nor illness, nor handicap…nor even time can alienate?
