Description
Come and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the community café Le Joli Mai! To mark this special occasion, Espace 1789 is joining forces with the café to invite you to discover and take part in two dance performances, created with and for the local residents.
It’s party time !
It’s been 10 years since the community café Le Joli Mai had the brilliant and courageous idea of setting up shop on Place du 8 Mai 1945, to take over the space… And what a lovely spot it is !
Coffee, workshops, tutoring, mutual support, legal aid, a community kitchen… it’s all that and so much more, and we’ve been celebrating it every year for a decade. For this special anniversary, Espace 1789 is joining forces with Le Joli Mai more than ever, and together we’re offering the chance to see (or even take part in!) two dance performances created with local residents:
- Tous les Français (performed on the Espace 1789 stage on 5 May) will be restaged at Place du 8 Mai, in a new version that Simon Roth will create with the regulars (or future regulars) of Joli Mai. So you’re very welcome to join us if you’d like to be part of the adventure.
- Beat By Bits is the open-air version of 16BIT, Paula Rosolen’s brilliant exploration of the techno phenomenon – remember the electr(on)ic performances in December 2023 !
A powerful blend of tension and release set to the frenetic beat of 90s techno, which the company invites amateur dancers with a strong heart and well-synchronised legs to learn !
Come on, join us ! There could be 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 of you… learning this exhilarating choreography during preparatory workshops.
