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)

      • Stravinsky's The Rite Of Spring by Jean-Claude Gallotta

The choreographer-to-be heard the piece for the first time on an ancient record player. Asleep on his wooden bench, he was transported in a dream. These memories led to a production of the Rite of Spring based on the original version of the work, rough, without any affectation, without any decorative brilliance, conducted and recorded by Igor Stravinsky himself. No anecdote, no intrigue. Jean-Claude Gallotta adds: there is no 'Chosen One', or at least no single 'Chosen One', glorified and later sacrificed. Each female performer with be eligible in turn, to respond to the 'obscure discretionary power' of the gods. Jean-Claude Gallotta has also retained the double etymological meaning of the word 'rite', involving bonding and reflecting. He reflects, on his knees, on the steps leading to the altar of his teenage years, and feels bound to the great masters, from Kantor to Fellini, who taught him not to forget. A tribute to Igor Stravinsky by Jean-Claude Gallotta - an incandescent Rite of Spring... Recorded on 2012 at the Théâtre national de Chaillot; TV Director, Jean-Marc Birraux (38 mns) - 2012 (37 min)
