Twelve years after bringing his first choreography to the stage, Olivier Dubois delivers an intimate solo that explores the recesses of the body’s memory and its ability to tell us the (hi)story of his art.
Living for many years between Paris and Cairo, Olivier Dubois formulates for the first time a singular vision of today’s Egypt: Itmahrag invites us to dive into the heart of a dance that Dubois describes as ‘incendiary’.
« A dance of fire, the fire that turns your blood red, that scares you, that often burns and always warms you. »

‘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 2016, Olivier Dubois creates “Auguri”, the final piece in his cycle Etude critique pour un trompe-l’oeil (Critical study for a Trompe L’oeil). It completes the trilogy created the past seven years with Révolution (2009), Rouge (2011) and Tragédie (2012).
During your quarantine, COD invites you to (re) discover this play through the documentary directed by Tommy Pascal and produced by Les films Jacks Fébus.

A new creation by Olivier Dubois, Tropismes is the third part of the project led by the choreographer around The Divine Comedy. Driven by the momentum of an irrepressible desire for life, the piece unfolds like a ballroom for two hours with a constant intensity and produces a real electrification of space.
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. It was for this 70 year old queen that Olivier Dubois created this new Sacre, drawing from the depths of her African soul to create a new, compelling vision of the work.
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.
