  • A double bill? Yes, but above all it is a dialogue, through works, between a major figure of American post-modern dance and a contemporary French choreographer.

  • Throughout her life and career, Trisha Brown, who died in 2017, maintained close ties with France and its culture. The world premiere in 1979 of one of her key pieces, Glacial Decoy, even took place in Provence during the Fêtes Musicales de la Sainte-Baume.

    Throughout her life and career, Trisha Brown, who died in 2017, maintained close ties with France and its culture. The world premiere in 1979 of one of her key pieces, Glacial Decoy, even took place in Provence during the Fêtes Musicales de la Sainte-Baume. With this programme, the company that bears his name and perpetuates his repertoire continues this privileged relationship. On the one hand, it presents a selection of the American's repertoire, reflecting her incessant spirit of innovation; on the other hand, it has commissioned a creation from the current generation of French dancers, embodied by Noé Soulier. Against For MG: the movie (1991), a radical return to the source of the gesture, and Working Title (1985), an evocation of children's races set to music by Peter Zummo, we will discover a choreography by the director of the Centre national de danse contemporaine d'Angers. Although he too questions movement, his approach is based on inorganic transitions, the gap between intention and gesture, effort and contraction. Beyond their specific vocabularies, the two artists nevertheless share a secret filiation: that inscribed in the bodies of the Trisha Brown Dance Company's dancers, who keep and transmit the sensitive memory of their heritage, while opening up to new writing.


    Trisha Brown
    Born in 1936 in the United States, she was one of the founding members of the Judson Dance Theater, a hotbed of the choreographic avant-garde in the early 1960s in New York. In 1970, she founded the Trisha Brown Company and developed her research first outside of traditional performance spaces and then within the theatre and opera stages. Until her death in 2017, she created nearly 90 works and in 1994 received the American Dance Festival Award for her entire career.

    Noé Soulier
    Born in Paris in 1987, Noé Soulier studied dance at the CNSMD in Paris, at the National Ballet School of Canada and at P.A.R.T.S. - Brussels. In 2010, he won first prize in the Danse Élargie competition, organised by the Théâtre de la Ville and the Musée de la Danse. His choreographic works explore movement in multiple devices including the stage, the museum space, cinema and theoretical reflection. Since 2020 he has directed the Cndc - angers.
