Golgotha / Steven Cohen
June 8, 8:30pm - Maison Folie Wazemmes
“This work deals with incorporation and the body, using the word body in all senses of the word, the fact of being alive, down to the bones, the ashes, the remains. It is about finding a dance in the vacant space between the amorality of commerce (where everything is for sale) and the rituals of lamentation (everything ends in death). It is not about bringing the dead back to life, but instead bringing death to life – and as for our way of living, caught as we are in the constant clamor of a crazily productive capitalist society – about questioning what we consume, what consumes itself, and what remains thereafter. Carefully making my way through the spaces between legality (what should I do?) and morality (what am I allowed to hope for?), this work seeks the means to translate great ethical principles into simple actions, like walking or eating. Finally it is about knowing where I am going, and how. And what I eat, and why.”

Yaksu Exit Number 9 / MC Hominal
June 9, 10pm - Théâtre de l'Oiseau - Mouche (Roubaix)
Following the success of the solo Fly Girl, Yaksu Exit Number 9 introduces two female characters, Curly Powder and Petra
Fur. The piece is constructed like an immobile but effective road movie in which the dancing is sexy, lively and quite aggressive. Sequins, superficiality, late-night existential discussions - is it possible to find authentic exchange and dialogue in this constellation of pretenders ?

ça quand même / Maguy Marin & Denis Mariotte June 11, 8pm La rose des vents, scène nationale Lille Métropole
After more than ten years of collaboring on pieces danced by others, we felt the desire to experiment on our own with material we generally share with other. It is about continuing an interview already under way for a long time and which we extend, putting our own bodies onstage (...).
We begin a far-ranging, non-stop, evolving conversation, full of contradictions and questions, face-to-face or in other ways, working outside the framework of a specific artistic field.
Self Portrait Camouflage / Latifa Laâbissi
June 10, 8:30pm - Maison Folie Wazemmes
“Between the first World Fair in 1855 to the Colonial Fair of 1937, France produced eleven different events, whose exceptional quality and renown brought them to export similar work abroad, giving their audiences ample occasion to applaud these rich spectacles revealing the splendors of its colonial Empire. Men, women and children were the object of curious attractions … In the year 2010, Marianne carries out her own investigation in these areas haunted by the phantoms of the Republic’s greatest exhibitions. Not to worry, between the cannibals and the young Polynesian women – full integration is guaranteed.”
What remains of colonial France? Latifa Laâbissi asks us this question, generating a healthy respect for her subject, with an appropriately grating sense of humour. Fortunately her use of derision and her droll and quirky accents are revelatory of her process and her commitment to her ideas.

Gustavia / La Ribot & M Monnier
June 11, 9/30 pm - Maison Folie Wazemmes
Gustavia is the assumed name of a female character who is speaking about great subjects which frankly are beyond her, classical, timeless stuff: Woman, Death, the Theatre, Performance, the Artist. She is played by two women, the French choreographer Mathilde Monnier and the Spanish artist La Ribot. Inspired by some of the classics, the grandeur of burlesque, and using well-known techniques of reversal and punch-and-dodge, this piece gives a theatrical dimension to the face-off between two artists engaged in a duel of generous clowning.
