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)
Stravinsky's The Rite Of Spring by Jean-Claude Gallotta
The Rite of Spring; Choreography, Jean-Claude Gallotta; Music: Igor Stravinsky, Rite of Spring, directed and recorded by Igor Stravinsky and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra (1960); With; Alexane Albert, Matthieu Barbin, Agnes Canova, Ximena Figueroa, Ibrahim Guétissi, Mathieu Heyraud, Georgia Ives, Cécile Renard, Gaetano Vaccaro, Thierry Verger, Stéphane Vitrano, Béatrice Warrand, Thalia Ziliotis; Jean-Claude Gallotta's Rite of Spring is like a grafitti on an old school desk. 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)

Marc Cary Focus Trio at Pori Jazz Festival
Marc Cary - keys; Rashaan Carter - bass; Sameer Gupta - drums and tabla; American pianist Marc Cary has been on fire lately, as is evident on his 2013 album 'Four Directions'. In his trio, Cary plays both piano and the keys, and the group's music embodies elements of go-go, hiphop, plus Indian musical culture. As their excellent pair of live albums released in 2008 and 2009 prove, on stage is where this band is at home. In 2013, Cary also released a solo piano album, 'For the Love of Abbey', dedicated to the late jazz vocal great Abbey Lincoln. (52 min)

Zara McFarlane at Pori Jazz Festival
Zara McFarlane just might be one of the new jazz sensations of 2014. At least all signs point to this. Her second album 'If You Knew Her' was released in January and it presents a singer who has truly discovered her own voice. The album was released by Brownswood Recordings, run by the famed British DJ/tastemaker Gilles Peterson. The minimalist compositions and McFarlane's strong voice come together in a stunning way, making the release one of the early highlights of the new musical year. (62 min)

Ô Sensei... choreography by Catherine Diverres
O Sensei... Choreography by Catherine Diverres; Artistic collaboration and scenography by Laurent Peduzzi; Costumes by Cidalia da Costa; Lights by Marie-Christine Soma; With Katja Fleig followed by Catherine Diverres; Music by Seijiro Murayama, Frédéric Chopin, Jean-Sébastien Bach, Keiji Haino, Ingrid Caven; Video by Thierry Micouin; Catherine Diverres met Kazuo Ohno, a master of the Butoh, in the 1980's. It was a life-changing experience for the choreographer. O Sensei is a poetical farewell to the Spanish choreographer Antonia Mercé, also known as La Argentina, an artist whom Kazuo Ohno admired to the highest degree. Alone on stage, Catherine Diverres explores the very essence of movement, in its purest, most evocative form. O Sensei projects an image on a screen, with a few costumes highlighting the tragic and regal style of Catherine Diverres's work. Recorded at the Théâtre National de Chaillot in November 2012.
