Foudres

Foudres is the last part of what Canadian Dave St-Pierre calls his triology on love, following on from La pornographie des ames, and Un peu de tendresse bordel de merde!, created in 2004 and 2006 respectively. The three works were programmed on alternate days at the Theatre de la Ville, and Foudres is arguably the least dreary of the three.

Dave has been invited to create pieces on several occasions, including one solo, "Versuchperson 2.0" (2013) for the Austrian dancer Silke Grabinger presented ImPuls Tanz in Vienna, and the direction of "Macbeth / Bastard" (2015), a show inspired by Shakespeare's Macbeth for the Schauspiel Frankfurt. He collaborated with Brigitte Poupart on several projects, including the show "What's Next" (2011) and the film "Over my dead body" (2012).

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”.

[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.
