12H - EVENT - "The Danced City (duration: 30 min. approx.)
The Danced City is an invitation from Paris Dance Project to celebrate dance in the urban space of Ile-de- France.
La Ville dansée is an invitation from Paris Dance Project to celebrate dance in the urban space of the Ile-de- France region. On this exceptional day, Paris Dance Project will offer the opportunity to meet in 10 emblematic locations in and around Paris. If monuments inscribe stories in the hardness of stone, La Ville dansée invites ten choreographers to bring to life stories other than those usually celebrated, forgotten presences, reanimating ghosts illuminating the present. Through fragile, vibrant dancing bodies, they are summoned to resonate in a collective, itinerant experience. In the joy of moments shared thanks to bodies animated by music, in the empathy felt at the evocation of forgotten destinies, La Ville dansée embraces the present with the past. On Saturday June 8, from Meudon to Saint-Ouen, passing through the center of Paris and the Philharmonie, ephemeral creations will cross the capital and sketch out a great Paris in motion, in dialogue with a central stage where voices, songs, poems and texts will be heard.
Hangar Y welcomes a creation by choreographer Salia Sanou, specially designed for the building's nave and echoing its history. The show will be followed by a participatory workshop.
Project Artistic Director: Benjamin Millepied / Artistic Creation Collective: Solenne du Haÿs - MascréChristian Longchamp, Fabien Truong and Françoise Vergès
