CHOREOGRAPHIC TERRITORIES

As do visual arts curators when conceiving of group exhibitions, Tangente’s dance curators have drawn the various choreographic projects in each season into thematic associations – and so proposing to the public additional frameworks for interpretation.

Here are the themes of the 2010-2011 Season:
-NEW WAVES
-PLURÉALIT(I)ÉS
-IDENTIT(I)ÉS
-(HER) PASSION
-RITU(A)EL GRAPHIK
-CORPS ATYPIK
-JEUNES / YOUNG SENSATIONS
-IN LIMBO
-CIRCULATIONS
-EX-CENTRIX

FIVE KEY WORDS

We invited the artists to concoct five words that might reflect their developing work. Throughout the season, as these creations are fleshed out, you will be able to discover more about them.

RITU(A)EL GRAPHIK

Three divergent architectures of body, space and mind, are at once formal and infused with symbolisms and ritualistic happenings. And despite the seriousness intentions of these male choreographers, they do allow for moments of delicious irony.
