Another look at memory
Anne-Sophie Lancelin, Raphael Cottin and Anne-Emmanuelle Deroo are the three most faithful dancers of Thomas Lebrun. Their extreme sensitivity and their unison with the cord magnify a chiseled writing, all finesse. Palimpseste, Another look at memory, refers to Marguerite Duras's words, which the choreographer uses again: "You know, I do not always understand very well what I'm saying. What I just know is that it's completely true. Thomas Lebrun, director of the Tours National Choreographic Center, pays tribute to "those bodies that tell stories of these bodies, theirs and those of others". What he knows is that they dance true and with them, on the music of Philip Glass, he brews the memory so that, again, something happens, remember tomorrow. Memory and transmission combine for a happy reunion with the very delicate dance of the choreographer.

Western classical dance enters the modernity of the 20th century: The Ballets russes and the Ballets suédois
If the 19th century is that of romanticism, the entry into the new century is synonymous of modernity! It was a few decades later that it would be assigned, a posteriori, the name of “neo-classical”.

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.
