Call for projects

In 2010

In the space of ten minutes, 250 people methodically filled the stage then left it. A crude improvisation worked miracles. 6 hip-hop dancers performed in unison and silence. An Egyptian goddess danced with French crooner Dick Rivers and a troupe of alligators. A drummer cheerfully smashed 400 plaster drumsticks. A live sheep devoured an author’s words. 4 boys danced in the wind. The stage was invaded by a group of robots straight out of the 1980s Japanese TV series San Ku Kaï. Creatures in masks and wigs enticed the audience. The event was hijacked by a ‘competition within the competition’ – ‘Dance or Die’. Dancers from Geneva plumbed the vocal depths of Diamanda Galás. 6 worshippers in red jumpsuits enacted the rite of a new religious belief. The audience had no time to figure out the movements of three dancers guided by their mirror neurons. Fake cowboys danced. An actor said ‘On stage, there is no « everybody ». On stage, there are the dead. On stage, there are always only the dead.’ A team from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Cergy almost beat themselves at their own game. A cabaret dancer presented an Anglo-Italian burlesque routine. A Peruvian family made the trip. A young choreographer painted 50 nudes, ecstatic in the face of death. A be-wigged trio (2 girls and 1 boy) swiveled their hips to the music of Marin Marais.
And Claudia Triozzi officiated as an exquisite mistress of ceremonies.
