Forecasting
Hands dismantling a keyboard; a face being licked by an animal; a palm caressing moss in the forest. In Forecasting, Barbara Matijević takes these truncated bodies interspersed among the millions of amateur videos available on YouTube, extends them and then reincarnates them on stage. A laptop screen becomes the point of intersection between this two-dimensional world, with its banal or bizarre stories, and a very real body. Created with her long-time accomplice, Giuseppe Chico, this show humorously plays with the way technology has changed our relationship to the body, it draws from the infinite pool of images available to us today. The digital imagination is amplified and poeticised in a research process that adheres as closely as possible to the new modes of self-narration.

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.

Artistic Collaborations
Panorama of different artistic collaborations, from « couples » of choreographers to creations involving musicians or plasticians
Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
