AMAZONES
Marinette Dozeville
Elles affirm triumphantly that all gesture is reversal.
The thundering phrase, taken from the novel-poem Les Guérillières by Monique Wittig, sounds like a warning to Marinette Dozeville‘s show, where seven women await us and unfold a possible feminism in dance. With AMAZONES, the artist continues her invigorating interrogation of female mythical figures that shake up and surpass society’s usual restrictions. A superb choral song using the emancipation of the body as a political voice, the piece builds, echoing Luvan‘s text, an evocative dance that reconciles the violence of combat and the sweetness of utopia. The choreography, full of ritual and savagery, vital energy and languor, leads irresistibly along the path of revelation.

Swan Lake Solo
Olga Dukhovnaya
Let’s clear up any ambiguity: Swan Lake Solo is not Odette de Crécy’s solo. Nor is it a contemporary version of Chaikovsky’s ballet. No, Swan Lake Solo is topical choreography. On March 9, 2022, the front page of Russia’s opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta features the silhouettes of four ballerinas from Swan Lake against the backdrop of a nuclear explosion. Because since the fall of Gorbachev, national television has been broadcasting Tchaikovsky’s ballet whenever there’s a news event that’s too hot.
The war dealt the final blow to Olga Dukhovnaya‘s project after two years of confinement : she gave up on choreographing the Swan Lake for 32 dancers, orchestra and singers commissioned by Moscow’s new museum. In an undertaking of ecological deconstruction, the Ukrainian choreographer then concentrates the entire corps de ballet in that of a single performer. Hers.
With the help of Russian composer Anton Svetlichny, she tunes it to music by Chaikovsky that’s as playful as it is respectful. An essential and invigorating choreography is born from all these impossibilities, and it gives Swan Lake Solo the tones of a very joyful and jouissive freedom.

Marinette Dozeville
Marinette Dozeville
Discovering at an early age the need for movement and effort as an expression of herself in the world, Marinette Dozeville first developed a classical dance curriculum at the CNR de Versailles and then at the Conservatoire Marius Petipa in Paris before obtaining her state diploma at the age of 18. She then trained in contemporary dance at l’Atelier de l’Envol where she discovered the work of numerous choreographers, such as Thierry Malandain, Gigi Caciuleanu, Martin Padron, Serge Ricci, Hervé Diasnas, etc. It is with the latter that she continues to train and collaborate, affirming in this work her affinity for the power of gesture and the engagement of the body on stage. Pursuing her career as a performer and collaborator with Christine Brunel, Valérie Lamielle, Julie Nioche, Catherine Toussaint, Angélique Friant, (…), she is developing her work as an author in parallel. Curious to confront her writing process with the universe of other artists, she sets up a concept of artistic encounters with the MU project. Fascinated by female figures and genuinely obsessed with popular culture, her plays are based on a thread of research into the Feminine, its myths and representations (Précaire, MU – Season 2 / Anatomical Venus, Dark Marilyn(s), Là, se délasse Lilith…)
