C’est une légende

That dance is something for other people (and for girls) is a myth still touted by many. How can these popular beliefs be laid to rest and these platitudes too frequently heard about dance changed? This is what Raphaël Cottin intends to do with this tailor-made show for young audiences but where adults can still learn a great deal about dance. Six chapters in the history of dance are evoked to stimulate young spectators in their approach to dance and movement. In passing it is possible to spot Isadora Duncan, the high priestess of free dance, or Pina Bausch who is so skilled at laying feelings bare. It also features the crucial contributions made by Alwin Nikolais and Rudolf Laban. Everything is done to awaken curiosity and give some points of reference that make dance a major art form. This history of dance through the ages is performed by two talented dancers who carry us off on a beautiful odyssey of the gesture.
