Le Générateur is delighted to welcome the Faits d’hiver! festival for its 20th edition for the third time: 10 venues, 34 performances, 8 creations, 2 Paris premieres!
The opportunity for Eléonore Didier and Lila Derridj to present the second stage of Géographies (ou classroom), which premiered at Le Générateur during the Performances in March 2017, and for Satchie Noro and Yumie Rigout to propose their creation mA.
Let’s dance !
Geographies (or classroom)
Éléonore Didier & Lila Derridj
Thinking always in terms of difference leads to solidifying space, crowding out relationships, noting only chasms that are impossible to fill.
Playing, on the contrary, produces energy, exposes an imaginary, willingly hijacks appearances!”
Lila Derridj and Eléonore Didier cheerfully seize this ground to be built, weaving strange and original relationships. The title of their four-handed piece, Géographies (or Classroom), wonderfully underscores their enterprise of reliance (resilience?) and the observation that learning is compulsory and life-saving. Everything is exchanged, so everything is learned. From the gap to the encounter, an extraordinary journey takes shape and materializes in this duo of determined, committed, mischievous women. Their dance breathes an architectural connivance built on time, experimentation and trust. Yes, simply, welcome, let’s enter the other’s garden, he invites us, in my, our garden…
mA
Satchie Noro & Yumi Rigout
“mA“, like the Japanese sinogram, sun between the two leaves of a door, a concept
of interval in space-time presupposing a situation, an atmosphere. mA, the suspension that creates rhythm, the breath between two movements, the silence between two notes, subjective variations of the void that connects two beings, two separate phenomena…”.
Satchie Noro aptly defines what drives the encounter with Yumi Rigout, her daughter, in this intimate invitation. Their dual Franco-Japanese culture, their artistic and physical practices, their link to a man who has disappeared, but whose presence still radiates and sows. Once again, the vacuum as an active, almost chemical principle instills movement, displacements, secret geographies, establishes the modalities of the encounter, these bodily constellations that draw stars, enchanted orbs, on the dance sky.
