Violences civiles
A cinematographic adaptation of Insurrection by Odile Duboc, created in 1989. The film is shot at night in the cold and spatial architecture of the Grande Halle de La Villette. A wave of twenty dancers in unison sway imperturbably to a hypnotic and monotone beat. Suddenly, a body collapses. This grain of sand will jam the choreographic machine and generate dissent.
Black and white photographs, some famous, of historical events or marching crowds punctuate the stages of this danced revolution and accentuate the political character of the work. The interpreters, attentively filmed, stare sometimes gravely at the camera lens in moments of suspension and silence. Insurrection, created for the bicentenary of the French Revolution, is a flagship work in Odile Duboc’s career, in which she expressed her questioning as to the individual vis-à-vis the group. The film focuses on one moment in the choreography: the awakening of a population that enters into resistance against the established order. It ends where the second part of the show began: towards the reconstruction of a more human world.

In 1983, she created the association Contre jour, with her partner and lighting designer, Françoise Michel. In 1990 and until the end of 2008, she directed the Franche-Comté National Choreographic Center in Belfort, where she succeeded Joanne Leighton. In 1993, she created the work Projet de la matière, a milestone in the history of the new French dance. She will be recognized as an important choreographer of French dance, and will stage many shows and operas for various institutions, including the National Center for Contemporary Dance in Angers. She died of cancer on April 23, 2010 at the age of 69.

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”.
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.
CHRISTIAN & FRANÇOIS BEN AÏM – VITAL MOMENTUM
[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.
