Choreographer Alain Buffard's latest creation, (not) a love song, features Miguel Gutierrez, Vera Mantero and Claudia Triozzi, and explores a novel art form: musical tragedy. "I've been wanting to take on musical comedies for some time now. They are a tough genre, and I fancied contaminating the musical and theatrical codes that I have always looked to for inspiration, and the singularly broad variety of musical, visual and emotional climates they encapsulate. I also wanted to pay tribute to interpreters I admire. That's where (not) a love song started." AB.

Là, on y danse
Hervé Robbe at the Théâtre de la Ville on Decembre 12, 14 & 15th, 2007

According to Hervé Robbe "A show finds its vindication only in confrontation, in friction". After various pieces and installations in which the audience were invited to come close to the dancing bodies, the choreographer comes back to the stage proper and takes possession of its space with six other dancers. He has selected two musical scores – a classical one and a contemporary one – and within that frame his choreographic writing addresses the issues of our times.The scenography’s geometric and abstract architecture forms the background against which fluid and enigmatic movements unfold on the proscenium, shifting between serious and lighthearted moods. The bodies move with gusto as they pursue unexplored energies and momentum together with experiences of new possibilities. Irène Filiberti

Carmen - Sara Baras Ballet flamenco
from december 18th through January 07, 2008 at the théâtre des champs-élysées

"I do not pretend telling a story well known to everybody. What interests me more is to work with the character from a certain poetic abstraction, which maintains the mystery and gives free rein to the imagination of the viewer. Carmen is mostly a woman's attitude and her tragedy is shared by all these women whom while claiming their liberty are killed."
