Performances de mai
Dance movements, live music, pole dancing, lyrical singing, sound poetry, Performances de mai brings together all these writings in one evening, with the creations and presence of five artists from exciting yet radically different worlds. Under the Générateur’s “Performance” banner, they affirm together their profound taste for research and experimentation, each deploying a singular, unusual writing style that belongs to them alone.

Undirectional
Dance, Music
How to be everywhere in space? How to have no position, no direction? How to create a body without a place? Faced with the absurd, Undirectional seeks a body of possibilities rather than a body of representation. There isn’t and never will be a final version.

With the support of CCN de Caen en Normandie, studio le Dancing, Fabrique de la danse and Foyer Rural du Lieuvin.

312 cm of sound
Pole dance, Lyrical singing
The performance 312 cm of sound is intended as a meeting space between two radically opposed practices : lyrical singing and pole dancing.
” You give me your voice and I give you my body “: the idea is to create, with two bodies, two voices, a super-person, neither woman nor man, who can sing and dance at the same time, while questioning this obsession with virtuosity and surpassing oneself.

Sound poetry
<You're looking for how it works. <Where is the work in relation to you? Inside? Next to it? Opposite? Below you? Above?How much space does this take up?
Whose place ?
The place of what ?
And what do you need today to feel alive?
I sometimes dream that work goes to work while I stay in bed, capitalizing on the sum of my sleep.
The poem propagates sound through the grain of the voice, the thickness of the air, the density of shared listening, it produces a collective effort to pose a problem.
