fresnes on stage

Rage and mystery

Far from prudence, alongside René Char and Lautréamont, we will try to penetrate an unknown zone where poetry would be, for a moment, sovereign. Djino Sabin and Elsa Agnès

Since January 2023, Djino Sabin, dancer of the company and the actress Elsa Agnès lead a workshop of artistic practice for a group of 12 prisoners in the penitentiary center of Fresnes.

This workshop is part of the mediation actions of the company. Djino Sabin, performer on the piece Souls, is inspired by the choreographic language of Olivier Dubois.

Nourished by the practices and know-how of the two speakers, these workshops invite the participants to tell their stories through dance and stage work.

Within the framework of two leaves of absence, the group will present the fruit of this work on the stage of the Odéon on Tuesday March 7 at 8 pm and then at Malakoff scène nationale on Friday March 24 at 8 pm.
A restitution within the penitentiary is planned on March 6.

Since 2016, the Odéon-Théâtre de l’Europe has been collaborating with the Fresnes penitentiary and the Val-de-Marne probation service, offering a group of inmates the opportunity to learn about theater under the guidance of artists. Each season, a new project is presented at the Théâtre de l’Odéon 6e. For the first time this season, the Odéon is partnering with Malakoff scène nationale. The workshops are in partnership with the company MidiMinuit and the company Olivier Dubois.

Tragédie new edit

The 22nd of february, festival equilibrio, Rome
The 16th of march, Théâtre Paul Eluard, Bezons
The 28th of march, La Scène nationale, Orléans
The 15th, 16th and 17th of may, CENTQUATRE, Paris

Ten years after its première, this choreographic poem has been rewritten by Olivier Dubois for eighteen performers. The new take propels the viewer into the “feeling of the world” with the same power. Dizzying and chaotic. On giant percussion instruments, in an incessant ebb and flow, the great cycle of life is played out, made and unmade. It is humanity seen as a palimpsest, written upon, erased and written upon once again… An unending quest!

IN CORPORE Bruxelles

Posted on by Achille Picard

Masterclass

IN CORPORE Bruxelles

The 22nd and 23rd of october, TicTac Art Centre Bruxelles

From 10am to 4pm

In Corpore is a pedagogical program developed by Olivier Dubois and his team.

Seeking a body in consciousness and in action through stability/instability, twisting of the body, explosiveness, a supple and toned spine. A musical body, structured and earthy, where the work of memorizing a score and the development of the singularity of the performer are closely linked.

This Masterclass will begin with a 1h30 lesson given by Sarah Lutz, dancer of the company and followed by a workshop with Olivier Dubois.

The workshop will focus on different ranges of explorations, as a rite of passage towards the incarnation of a theatrical Dubois’ body :

  • Integration of a complex choreographic score
  • Stamina
  • Self and the group
  • Metamorphosis

« Metamorphosis» as Olivier Dubois often refers to, is a person’s transformation into a dancing being, both glorious and vulnerable.

And this metamorphosis involves the diversion of previously learnt skills, in order to reconquer a skillful wildness, where essential technique serves the instinct.

 

This Masterclass is the opportunity for Olivier Dubois to meet new dancers for his next creation.

 

Informations :

For professional dancers or dancers following professional training

Price : 130 € for the week-end

“souls”, the film

creation 2013

directed by Tommy Pascal

produced by Les films Jack Fébus

‘Through death, I affirm my life.

A slow and tiring crossing … The journey of our souls.
Harbingers of my being life-givers and already revealing my death.
Souls may be seen as a long dance of death, unless it is the dance of a secret organisation: of destiny of fate … of determinism ?
This death as the soul of the world’

In December 2014, Sacre 2 is created with the great dancer/ choreographer, Germaine Acogny, the mythical “chosen one” of Maurice Béjart, who never danced this particular work.

LE CORPS AIMANT

nuit blanche olivier dubois

Performance

Le corps aimant

March 30 • MuCEM • Marseille

In partnership with Sciences Po Aix

Interactive performance led by COD interpreters in different areas of the museum. A danced performance, a poetic invasion of the urban space by the muffled power of the entwined bodies. To look at each other, to approach, to kiss, to embrace each other, to wear oneself, to seize oneself and then to quit … DANCE.

The participants will intervene randomly in a duet in the space of Mucem, before assembling within a big slow that will be danced every hour, transforming the museum into a huge dance floor.
