The graduation show of the class D of the Bachelor in Contemporary Dance class, choreographed by Mathilde Monnier in 2020, will be broadcasted online on Wednesday, May 19 at 8pm.
In collaboration with the HES-SO, La Manufacture invites you to (re-)discover the work of its latest graduates in contemporary dance on the occasion of this screening of the show A Dance Climax.
The screening will be preceded by a short introduction by Frédéric Plazy, director of La Manufacture, and a dancer from the graduating class.
Program and detailed information to follow.
In A Dance Climax, French choreographer Mathilde Monnier plays with apnea and the breath of dance. She draws the students into a common breath to protect the future, in an attempt to make the invisible visible.
"This is a research project on air: who owns the air, usually considered as a free space and common good? We started to write a choreography on this question of breathing as a common good. I gave them a lot of texts to read, including those of Peter Sloterdijk on foam and greenhouse effects. He talks about the architects of the air and how the air became a space for exploitation. He uses also other books about the First World War, when air became a weapon with the use of gases. Today, with the coronavirus, it is no longer just a matter of air, but also touch, proximity. This concerns very important symptoms of our society. This disease affects something very intimate to us and in our relationship to each other."
