N.Q.Z.C. by Wayn Traub from November 07th to 10th, 2007 at 08:30pm THEATRE DE LA VILLE

Wayn Traub has been an associated artist with the Toneelhuis Theatre in Antwerp since 2002 and has become famous for his "ritualistic" theatre pieces articulated on astonishing maze-like narratives. His new creation "Arkiologi", preceded by several months of research lab work, goes one notch further in its liberation from the traditional techniques of the theatre. Within an aesthetic frame combining the mediaeval and the futuristic, Wayn Traub presents a collective dream involving four characters. It is a kind of choreography of the senses, where the usual divisions set by our perceptions are constantly undermined by the Unconscious as drama.

"Once upon a time" by Stormfrom November 5th to 10th, 2007 at CND

The expression, in every language and all over the world, sets the tone: "Once upon a time". The magical formula immediately drags us in a litterary genre: fairy tale. Storm created this new creation, a franco-german project resulting from a partnership between MOOV’N AKTION, association dedicated to the development of the Hip-Hop culture, the Hebbel am Ufer theatre in Berlin and the CND in Paris / Pantin.

Through out dance, music and video, the berlin choregrapher uses our fairy tales' collective imagination to create a contemporary fable. 4 interpreters form Berlin and 2 parisian dancers are invited to the creation adventure and spend some time in residence in both countries. They are joined in every town by a group of amateur children and adolescents. The goal is to show youngsters how to blend in today's society leveraging artistic group work. This integration method, federated by the german choregrapher, is also betting on european cultural exchanges. This way, mondern fairy tales may allow anyone to entrust their dreams. text by Irène Filiberti

Interpreted byHassan Akkouch, Mehdi «Spirit» Baki, Louis Becker, Rainer Laumann, Mustapha «Darwin» Lehlouh, Abraham «Abby» Marte and a Seine-Saint-Denis children group.

"We cannot do this", this is a phrase bannished from the StopGAP company vocabulary. Actually, the team enthousiasm carry on an all different philosophy: "Our richness lies in our differences". With or without handicap, the 4 cast members of this company and their guest choregraphers are developping pieces and projects mixing virtuosity and imagination, provocation, humour and emotion. Presented for the first time in France, the cast choose a two piece program.

Miniatures belongs to a musical fairy tales collection with a score composed by Jules Maxwell. Each piece is given to a choregrapher and take the shape of a fun challenge to pick. A kind of a breaking wave where dance is lively at first and disturbing and sentimental next, producing a paradoxal storytelling. CND offered the company to realise its dream to invite a french artist in this adventure. The encounter with Nathalie Pernette has been deciding; The British company and the French choregrapher shares two essential qualities: a free spirit and a certain taste for novelty.
