OMNIprésences sportives by le Mouffetard-CNMa

A show in its most popular form: a castelet and a few girdle puppets, a musician, to put into play the most popular of shows: sport. In the practice of sport, music and puppetry, there's a close relationship between the right gesture and the spectacular result. Let's bring this shared particularity into play with two improvisers, each a specialist in his or her own instrument (girdle and double bass). Puppets and jazz music, between chiselled score and improvisation. A muscular, playful and rhythmic instrumental duo. Let's play! This story is part of Compagnie Alinéa's Petites Histoires Sans Paroles repertoire.

Sport en boîte is a performance of concentrated sport. To recapture a taste for the sporting gesture, we've left the athletes in the locker room, keeping only the objects involved in their practice. Balls, shoes and rackets become the heroes of short Olympic fables about team spirit, surpassing oneself and fair play. To give the exploits of these ordinary objects their full dimension, the show is broadcast live on television, for an astonishing show in a box!

Hand Hop is a call to seize our freedom to dance wherever we please, an invitation to continuous movement in the face of imposed rules and norms. Based around a frantic chase between authority and casualness, Hand Hop aims to give back to the street its contagious energy, alive with togetherness, bodies and music. An allusion to early Hip Hop clips, combined with a nod to Tex Avery, to celebrate street dance, which is now a fixture of the contemporary choreographic landscape and a victory over public space.

A great moment of complicity between man and horse when, beyond technical performance, a world of poetry is created. When codified movements and imposed figures of an equestrian sport lead man and beast to invent a score of freedom in free figures. In a showcase, motorized movements, a masked character and the fantastic manipulation of overexcited hooves come together. A short story in which dressage becomes dance, and animal and human become inseparable in a physical performance combining manipulation, objects and baroque fantasy.

An encounter between contemporary dance and rugby A match without a field, without a ball, where only bodies are at stake. The performers are both partners and adversaries, creating situations of complicity and confrontation. EN-MÊLÉES transports us into a universe that expresses the imperceptibility of the rugby pitch. The one that exists behind the ball, the one that reveals the beauty and richness of this sport, so tough yet full of sensitivity and emotion.

In sport, as in art, there are gestures, words, signs and secret routines, visible or invisible, between two protagonists. This language, specific to each duo, makes the number, the choreographic phrase, the phase of play or the performance fluid. " For this piece, I chose to choreograph the unexpected meeting of an artist, Fleuriane Cornet, and a sportswoman, Julia Reboul.

Both from the same generation, they move in an 8-meter circle in search of physical complicity, emotional challenges and acrobatic interference. Races together, chases, shared balances, bravado, conciliation, versatile complicities… when one is the troublemaker, the other is the target - and the games are reversed. Theresult is a story of alliances, complicity and connivance " SATCHIE NORO.

VU is the meeting of two dancers.
Sighted and visually impaired, contemporary and electro. The source of inspiration for this creation is the unique relationship between visually impaired athletes and their guides. It's a relationship of body to body, of listening, of extreme sensoriality, all of which resonate with the language of choreography.
VU embodies this sensitive, non-verbal and symbolic space, the quintessence of support, mutual aid and solidarity.

Vu embodies a relationship built on surpassing the limits (of oneself, of performance…) that we confront in the public space, which is also a space of permanent obstacles and challenges.
