Fundraising evening for Cie Lalaia and Cie Rouge Violet
Performances because: taking control of artistic programming, gaining visibility, championing our vision of art, sparking reflection, fostering imagination, bringing different works together, connecting with audiences (stage side)
Party because: to come together and celebrate these imaginations, to put joy back at the centre, to take our place
>>> 8pm, Sambistas by Lisa Biscaro Balle - Cie Lalaia
Suitable for all ages
Portrayed by a single soloist, three characters are revealed, all imbued with samba: a queen of the samba school, a nostalgic old man, a tipsy man in the crowd. By allowing each body to dance with its own specificities, history, and way of experiencing this culture, “Sambistas” seeks to counteract the standardisation of representations of samba.
A Franco-Brazilian artist and self-taught sambista, Lisa is currently creating a dance and music-based lecture on samba, exploring it as a political, social and existential expression. Lisa shares her practice mainly with schoolchildren and women in vulnerable situations.
>>> 8.50 pm, FEM-FM by Jehan Hamm – Cie Rouge Violet
18+
In FEM-FM, Jehan reinterprets the imperatives disseminated by the media, advertising, and societal and gender norms as experienced through her AFAB* body (assigned female at birth*). With an aesthetic blending the absurd, humour and a form of sensitive radicalism, this piece is a manifesto for an emancipated body.
Jehan seeks to bring forth an emotional expression, first through the mobility of the anatomical body, and then to become a presence that is transmitted. She feels the need to exhaust a subject, in the sense of: when do we know we have truly gone to the bottom of it, that we have truly dared ?
>>> 10.30pm, DJ set by Petite Mort
A committed queer artist on the Parisian scene, Petite Mort crafts textured, hypnotic techno. Her sounds, drawn from satellites or the depths, combine with a refined groove to offer an introspective journey that calls for graphic abstraction. Music like a vertigo that delves into consciousness and shatters norms.
