At the Maison Théâtre
Duration: 50 minutes
Vibrant bodies and wheelchairs go wild on stage! Three acolytes manipulate and transform this object in a show that celebrates bodily diversity. Whole or disassembled, the wheelchair and its components become puppets, light trails, disco robots or turtles. Imagination is the only limit! The three all-terrain performers see in these amazing bolides an infinite possibility for play.
Since 2000, Corpuscule Danse has been dedicated to the development and promotion of inclusive dance based on the encounter of artists with and without visible and invisible disabilities. Through creation, dissemination, research, teaching and cultural mediation, the company contributes to inclusion in dance and society.

Audiodescription : Enora Rivière
As part of the programming of La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines
At La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines
Duration: 50 minutes
Solo by Manuel Roque, Le vent se lève is a piece whose primary intention is to observe the passage from inertia to Momentum through a luminous, joyful lens. The use of repetitive motifs is articulated with a liberating aim. The piece unfolds in the wind, the body wandering, twirling and trying to find its footing in an empty space.
