Vertige d'Elle

From the perilous issue of homosexuality, one almost taboo in hip hop dance, Claire Moineau achieves the tour de force of producing a show that is poignant and just.

In Vertige d'Elle, Claire Moineau takes inspiration from the text by Pierre Notte, Les séparées, written for this project. There is a single imperative: the theme of female homosexuality. On the stage, within a trio, passion confronts reason to reveal an all-consuming love on the limits of social exclusion.

“It is about someone who is not there;
more precisely, someone who has left.
It is not just about this, though.
There will be three women's voices;
three desires, three female bodies.
It is a simple story,
the simple story that leads each of them to find themselves and each other at the exact other side of the world.”

Pierre Notte

[1930-1960]: Neoclassicism in Europe and the United States, entirely in tune with the times

The Ballets Russes paved the way for what would become known as: neo-classical. Back then, the term “modern ballet” was frequently used to define this renewal of aesthetics: a savvy blend of tradition and innovation, which each choreographer defined in their own way.

[1970-2018] Neoclassical developments: They spread worldwide, as well as having multiple repertoires and dialogues with contemporary dance.

In the 1970s, artists’ drive towards a new classic had been ongoing for more than a half century and several generations had already formed since the Russian Ballets. As the years went by, everyone defended or defends classical dance as innovative, unique, connected to the other arts and the preoccupations of its time.
