DANCE FILMS ON THE THEME OF SUSPENSION AND GRAVITY
2023, 54 MIN
A montage of choreographic and performance extracts proposed by the Centre national de la danse with Loïe Fuller, Trisha Brown Early Works, Laura De Nercy and Bruno Dizien, Kitsou Dubois, Jann Gallois, Mourad Merzouki, Régine Chopinot, Philippe Decoufé, Iztok Kovac, Joëlle Bouvier and Régis Obadia…
Rising on pointe, jumping, leaping… the dancer tries to go ever further, ever higher, to free himself from gravitational pull, to seek out new spaces to explore between heaven and earth. He questions gravity through his body and finds other ways of moving. This becomes a source of inventiveness and technical experimentation that leads the creation towards new gestures.
The use of devices, whether scenic (mirrors, sets, etc.) or accessorised (rope, harness, etc.), from the simplest to the most elaborate, transforms our usual reference points of horizontality and verticality, our relationship with the ground and the void, and blurs our understanding of space, the body and its possibilities. The relationship between gravity and suspension changes until it disappears.
Playful, poetic, strange, even unreal worlds are born before our eyes.

PREVIEW – DOCUMENTARY FILM BY GRÉGOIRE KORGANOW
WITH AMALA DIANOR AND THE CAST OF THE SIGUIFIN SHOW.
There are nine of them, nine dancers from different African countries. In Saint-Louis, under the bite of the Senegalese sun, they get to know each other, work together and imagine a contemporary dance piece that reflects them. From this shifting material, choreographer Amala Dianor, with his attentive and demanding eye, moulds day by day the contours of a show entitled “Siguifin”, which in Bambara means magic monster.
With the support of Onda – Office national de diffusion artistique as part of the Écran vivant programme in partnership with Théâtre, scène nationale de Mâcon, Lux Scène nationale I Arts visuels + Arts numériques, Valence, Institut Français, Big Pulse Dance Alliance.

INDES GALANTES
Documentary film by Philippe Béziat – 2020, France, 1h48
It’s a first for 30 hip-hop, krump, break, voguing dancers… A premiere for the director Clément Cogitore and the choreographer Bintou Dembélé. And a premiere for the Paris Opera. Through a dialogue between urban dance and lyrical singing, they reinvent together Jean-Philippe Rameau’s baroque masterpiece, Les Indes Galantes. From rehearsals to public performances, it is a human adventure and an encounter with the political stakes that we follow: can a new generation of artists today take the Bastille?

Projection a dancer's world
A cinematographic itinerary is proposed in connection with the Festival’s programming, the opportunity to deepen his knowledge around major figures of dance
A Dancer's World
Short film by Peter Glushanok with Martha Graham.
1957, USA, 31 min
Screening with Janet Eilber, Artistic Director of Martha Graham Dance Company
“As she prepares to play the role of Jocaste, Martha Graham introduces us to her company, talking about the life, art and technique of the dancer.
A Dancer’s World is a beautiful film because it shows dance where you don’t expect it. The editing alternates the dressing room, where Martha Graham is shown putting on makeup before entering the stage to interpret Night Journey while meditating on the formation of the dancer, and the company’s dance sequences.
Martha Graham’s styling, dressing, evokes the world of dance: how one becomes a character, the need for discipline in the studio, the time it takes – years of exercise – to access simplicity, spontaneity, at the moment of the theatrical act.”

DOCUMENTARY SCREENINGS
In partnership with Cannes Cinéma and the CN D Centre national de la danse.
The Festival wants to develop a theme around the image and offers the public a film journey, in partnership with the CND (the new Dance Film Library) and Cannes Cinéma. A programme of films and documentaries on dance will take place throughout the festival, naturally in connection with the shows on offer.
As a result, we can enjoy in particular documentary films based on major figures in dance, such as Maurice Béjart, Sasha Waltz, Christian Rizzo, and better understand the career of Brigitte Lefèvre or the process of creating a ballet, for example by showing Titicut Follies, a documentary by Frederick Wiseman and the origin of the ballet by the same name.
Free admission, limited seating available.

« Sasha Waltz, un portrait »
(2014, 1h12) – Documentaire, Allemagne
Réalisateur : Brigitte Kramer
Un portrait intime de Sasha Waltz, danseuse et chorégraphe née en 1963 à Karlsruhe en Allemagne. Dans ce film, elle se confie sur son travail et sur sa perception de la danse. Sasha Waltz fait partie des chorégraphes européennes les plus connues aujourd’hui. Ses chorégraphies surprennent toujours tant par leur inventivité et leur esthétique que par la profondeur des sujets abordés. Elle ne travaille pas uniquement avec des danseurs. Elle aime que ses créations dialoguent avec d’autres formes d’art. La réalisatrice retrace le parcours de Sasha Waltz de 2006 à nos jours – les années les plus importantes de la carrière de la chorégraphe.
Rencontre avec un des danseurs de Sasha Waltz & Guests et Brigitte Lefèvre, directrice artistique à l’issue de la projection.
