      • Laurent De Wilde and Otisto 23 'Fly' with Guillaume Perret - Banlieues Bleues

        LAURENT DE WILDE AND OTISTO 23 'FLY!' INVITE GUILLAUME PERRET LIVE AT LA DYNAMO; With Nico Ticot (video) Xlrproject; Part Two of Laurent de Wilde and Otisto 23's musical experiments. This time, they have transcended themselves. Let us go back to the basic concept: a piano and a computer - Laurent generates sounds on his instrument, with the keyboard of course, but also the strings, felt, wood, metal, anything that can be plucked, scraped and rubbed, producing an infinitely varied sound matter that Otisto processes in real time through his computer, bouncing it back to Laurent, who then responds with new sounds... and this is how the music develops. After the experience of their first album 'PC Pieces', de Wilde et Otisto are meeting again on stage and in the studio. More intuitive, their music now involves more piano and electronics, as in 'Lost' with its long cadence on the piano, meandering through the filters of the machine, and 'B Flat Seven' where a single B Flat generates an extensive technoid epic in seven tableaux. From this encounter, a deeply organic music is born, a dialogue, a conversation which at times solidifies into an incandescent ball of sound or slims down to the most delicate hieroglyphs. An anecdote involves a herd of cows, grazing in the vicinity of the studio where the album was being recorded, to the accompaniment of a colony of flies, who soon invaded the room where the two musicians were working. There ensued a track entitled 'Eau de Mouche n°5', and the realisation that the insects' constant buzzing was influencing their entire repertoire. FLY! invites us to defy gravity, carried aloft by an intimate and precious musical conversation. (75 min)

      • El Djoudour (Roots), choreography by Abou Lagraa. Chaillot Theater

        El Djoudour (Roots); Choreography, scenography and artistic direction Abou Lagraa; Artistic and educational advisor Nawal Ait Benalla-Lagraa; Lights Nicolas Faucheux; Music Olivier Innocenti; Voice Houria Aichi; With Nawal Ait Benalla-Lagraa, Lydie Alberto, Ali Brainis, Sarah Cerneaux, Nassim Feddal, Laurent Jocelyn, Oussama Kouadria, Bilel Madaci, Marion Renoux, Fanny Sage, Féroz Sahoulamide, Tanné Uddén, Angela Vanoni, Bernard Wayack Pambe, Zoubir Yahiaoui; El Djoudour, meaning 'Roots', is the story of the choreographer's return to the land of his ancestors. Born and educated in France, Abou Lagraa revisits Algeria, the land his family came from. There he finds an Arab-Muslin culture based on mutual support, generosity and daily rituals where the body - an object of desire, sacred or rejected - is omnipresent. From the reunion with the culture that nourished his identity, he fashions a moving work, accompanied with sacred chants, that was selected for the Opening Night of the Marseille Provence festival of 2013. After Nya in 2010, which won the 'Grand Prix de la Critique', here is another contribution to the cross-Mediterranean Franco-Algerian project Abou Lagraa has been involved in since 2010. With a foot on each shore, Lagraa questions the place of the individual and his desire for freedom in an increasingly multi-cultural society. Steeped in history, and resolutely facing the future. Recorded at the Chaillot National Theater; TV Director Luc Riolon (75 min)

      • Deca Danse by the Batsheva Dance Company. Chaillot Theater

        Deca Dance; Choreography, Ohad Naharin; Dancers of the Batsheva Dance Company; Lights, Avi Yona Bueno (Bambi); Costumes, Rakefet Levi (except Seder Sharon Eyal); Designed for the first time in 2000, the program then celebrated the 10 years worth of creations of Ohad Naharin with the company, offering a striking collage of excerpts from his work. The piece has been steadily reworked and enhanced, and now gives the Israeli choreographer a chance to display his various inspirations - from the most demonstrative movement to very intimate expression - as well as to interrogate the key elements of his work. More than a collection of selected works, it is a genuine recreation whose repertoire provides continuously revisited material. Energetic and sensual, always walking a fine line between body and soul emotions, dance becomes its own theater. An enthralling experience for spectators, caught up in a whirlwind of unforgettable movements, sounds and images delivered by a company at its best. The visionary choreographer also devised the music (Maxim Waratt, Maurice Ravel, Arvo Pärt, Seefeel, Chari Chari, Antonio Vivaldi, Ali Hassan Kuban, Avi Belleli, Dan Makov...), the lights and the scenography. Directed for video by Luc Riolon - 2013 (75 min); Recorded on 2013 at the Théâtre national de Chaillot (74 min)
