Les yeux ouverts + trois décennies d’amour cerné

LES YEUX OUVERTS

In association with the creation of Trois décennies d’amour cerné, a Western look at love and AIDS since it appeared, Les Subsistances commissioned a creation on the same theme but from the “African” point of view. . . . That is, how the virus, which is literally devastating the continent, has changed people’s relationship to love and sexuality. This piece brings together the perspectives of a Western choreographer and a West African (Malian) dancer, Moussa Camara. In it, Moussa, whose powerful physicality manages to radiate an unusual fragility, will embody the combative youths devoid of means – and sometimes of fear as well –I briefly encountered during a tour in Africa in 2010. His viewpoint and background will be key to writing the solo, which I’d like to be as close to reality as possible, with no detours.” Thomas Lebrun.

TROIS DÉCENNIES D’AMOUR CERNÉ

Three solos & one duet

… DE RISQUES / solo for Anthony Cazaux

… DE PEUR / duo for Anne–Emmanuelle Deroo and Raphaël Cottin

… DE DOUTES / solo for Anne-Sophie Lancelin

… DE SOLITUDE / solo by Thomas Lebrun

Trois décennies d’amour cerné is a piece composed of three solos and one duet, in liaison, in continuity, in transmissions, dissonances and contradictions, on the appearance and evolution of AIDS. By traversing a musical chronology, from English and American New Wave to international pop and indie rock directly or indirectly related to the first appearance and spread of the virus, the choreographer seeks to evoke the states of doubt, fear, and disillusionment of a generation struck by fearful love. Five dancers embody the various time periods and places, questioning this imposed presence that for three decades has enveloped our every thought and deed and dampened our freedom of enjoyment.
