Echoa
Stretching an arch between body and sound to go beyond the classic relationship between musicians and dancers. In this search for a subtle common space, two percussion structures are placed on stage, with and around which the construction of the piece will take place. Without exchanging their roles, they explore their gestures and appropriate each other's rhythms to bring out new meaning.
How does a percussionist dance?
How does the body of a dancer sound?
“Echoa” aims to sharpen the musicality of dance and underline the choreography of music. An unexpected dance concert where one can see dance with new ears.

LATITUDES CONTEMPORAINES
The committed artist
In all the arts and here especially in dance, the artist sometimes creates to defend a cause, to denounce a fact, to disturb, to shock. Here is a panorama of some "committed" choreographic creations.

[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.
