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)

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.

      • 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)
